Hot Breath on the Neck

[Warning]
Settled into embrace
the soft night performing
like a moment of grace
while the world is storming.

[Caution]
The wind is a cool breeze
that finds tempers softened
sets errant minds at ease
and calms the heart often

[Beware]
Find slumber in slow thoughts
treat the days past with care
the battles you have fought
are no cause for despair

[Danger]
And once sleep settles in
blanketing your anger
you can begin again;
the whole world a stranger.
