There is no neon
Where I live
No distractions
Of any kind
I see bill boards
Now and then, but
No distraction
Can’t remember
What they said
And anyway
They’re not close
More like far away
Last night though
The full moon
Had its way with me
Got me to thinking
About important things
Like that lady sleeping
Next to me
And all the promises
I’ve made
Whether or not
I’m up to grade
The noise then made
By the wind blended
With her gentle snores
Makes me realize
She’s sleeping well anyway
And will wake up happy
Can’t ask for more than that
And she was joyous
Right up to the end
When the angels came
And took her away
