Sleep is my most humble domain
without it, I think I would go insane
Sifting through my troubles and my woes
resting peacefully,

SLEEP

I saw a picture in a book once
A painting entitled quite simply:"Sleep."
Two women, naked on a bed, covers tossed aside,
Slumbering

Tiptoe

One final peep

Gentle kiss

On the cheek

Silence

My bundle of love

Fast asleep

Once in bed

Nothing said

On my pillow

Slumber

I plea to you, my faithful friend:
Come down now and be with me,
Play with my senses and wrap my body,
Filling my thoughts

Sleep my darling Mother
for we know you'll soon depart
May your slumber be a blissful one
may comfort fill your heart.

Sleep
