An Ode to the Night by Mia Jardine

So basically I wrote a sonnet last year for English class (those of you who had the same class as me may remember it) and I decided to utilize it for this blog post.

An Ode To The Night  

I awake in a broken-glass dream state,

While the world is deep blue and hazy.

The walls of my room bloom with shimmering nightshade,

As the moon sings me to sleep with lavender melodies.

I bury myself in a sleep mist cocoon, 

And the bluebell stars begin to gleam.

My soul lays between the earth and the golden moon ☾,

And with white shattering sparks, I begin to dream.

Beautiful visions plague me; ever so fleeting,

That we bottled honey-coated stars ☆

And drank them in the evening. 

As golden slumbers fill my eyes, I forget who we are.

Gilded nightshade apparitions guide me through the night; the day once but a dream.

And as I awake once more, the birds do not sing; but scream.
