Encore

Day’s end, the Sun sets,
Twilight falls, and the Earth sighs…
So, what’s the encore?

As night-time calls,
Smile
And sleep well.

A haiku and piku duo posted in response for Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt, Encore.

      Thanks, Eugenia. We tend not to think about sleeping very much… 🤔

    So wonderful, Tom! I wish you lived next door so that on my cranky/grumpy days you could remind me to smile 🙂

    A haipu it is.
    The encore is your piku; performed in the depths of your soul, as you quietly drift in what humans call sleep and Fates conversation.

      Indeed, Nick.
      I think the Fates have been visiting me a lot when I sleep of late, for their conversations… I’ve been having some very vivid dreams.
