Chuck-Will's-Widow

Listening to Chuck-will's-widow    
singing the same song  
of loneliness as nightjars  
pulling at my heart  
when I should be sleeping    
with the cruise of the night    
and dreaming of my rocking horse  
with a wink from mom's eye    
sailing off in a wooden shoe    
listening to Chuck-will's-widow    
and saying my prayers...
Amen
