Excerpt
Daysleeper
by Vanyell Delacroix
~ Excerpt ~
I sleep hearing lullabies
Sung by a lark
The sun is my nightlight
Blue skies are my dark.
A hard granite headstone
Pillows my head,
Warm earth is my blanket
The grave is my bed.
Death is my sleep
Nightmares are my dreams
My morning news
Is terror filled screams.

This poem is one of my favorites by Vanyell Delacroix. The artwork by Kevin Slack is perfect for this childrens story.
I heartily recommend this book to all.

Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
