Introduction

Night is more than the end of a day

Night is more than the end of a day. It is a soft pillow, a breeze through an open window, and a quiet hour in which the mind finally lets go. In its stillness, thoughts slow down and wishes rise like stars.

Poet of Bedtime Hush gathers poems for that hour. Some drift gently like a lullaby, while others wander through dreams, battles with sleep and questions that keep us awake. Each one is a journey: some end in rest, and some end in a smile remembered after waking.

Through these pages, let the world grow quiet. Read one poem, close the book, and let the night take hold. Sleep well.
