Just for the night
We’ll stick around
To see the paper moon
Half-covered by silky clouds
We’ll sleep in the garden
By the green wheelbarrow
Old and worn
Overgrown with violets
We’ll breathe in the sweet summer
darkness
And think of nothing important
For the morning
Brings a thousand things to do
So we will leave tomorrow alone
Just for the night

Just beautiful, I especially love;
"We’ll breathe in the sweet summer
darkness
And think of nothing important"
the whole poem has a soft, soothing quality.
