She sleeps,
Drifting on through her dreams
Of lives that could have been,
Places she could have seen.
She sleeps.
Visions of the night-time
Blending subconscious thoughts
Into reality.
She sleeps,
Restless, as the views change
From what she knows is true
To scenes filled with wonder.
She sleeps,
Yet listens for the cries
Of children in the night,
In case they need comfort.
She sleeps.
Moon drifts across the sky,
Passing by her window,
Shining into her dreams.
She sleeps,
Gentle breathing signals
Pause for deeper slumber;
Needed for well-being.
She sleeps,
The worries of the day,
Laid to rest with the stars,
Resolved, effortlessly.
She sleeps,
Stirs, as dawn is breaking,
Knowing the new day brings
Its worries and trials.
She sleeps,
Gains energy to face
The day’s anxieties
With grace and dignity.
She sleeps,
Yet still she feels his arm
Curling close around her;
Draws them ever closer.
She wakes,
And lies there to enjoy
The warmth of his body
As his embrace tightens.
She sighs,
Contented with her life;
A life that never seems
The same as in her dreams.

Night shots present more of a challenge, which also makes them more satisfying.

I know what you mean. But years ago I read, and practiced, setting my camera on a folded-up jacket. Use a remote control, if possible. If you don’t have a remote control, but you want a long exposure, leave the lens cap on, lock the shutter open, gently remove the lens cap for the required time, gently replace it, then close the shutter. That’s how I captured the view of Teignmouth at Night, here: https://harcourt51.wordpress.com/2013/11/29/teignmouth-at-night/
