First Night Alone

It was dark.
I could see nothing,
but the moonlight through the windows.

I climbed onto my ship,
ready to begin the voyage to dreamland,
for the first time. Alone.

I could not hear the stories,
I could not hear any snores,
All I could hear was silence.

That round pearl in the skies
made me stay awake.
She turned to me.
She smiled at me.
She talked to me.
She sang to me.

She soon disappeared at
the same time as the starry skies.
I can see nothing again,
nothing at all.

Nothing but darkness.
