Sleeping Like a Baby

Everything has led me to this.

The ache in my bones begins to subside
As day to day woes drift out in the tide.
Crickets chirp back and forth in the grass
Causing lingering concerns to pass.
Fog crawls in like a fox among bulrushes  
Rocking me slowly with the gentlest brushes.
Voices of the past collide and fade
Arranging such a sweet serenade.
Seagulls reminisce and children laugh.
A man cracks a coconut in half.
Everything has led me to this.
