The Ramblings of a Redhead

Time for sleep... Time for the wind to carry the dreamers upon its back. Time for those dreamers to fly to the highest of heights and to have the grandest of adventures. Time for stillness. Time for crickets and cicadas to sing their songs. Time for the moonlight to kiss the earth with its soft rays of light. Time for peace and comfort. Time for the troubles of the day to wash away.
