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

As I nestle into my covers
My eyelids fight to stay open
Then finally close
Thoughts run through my mind
I fret about what

Sleep calls to me but I do not come
lying restlessly in the dark of night
hearing the beat of my heart thump thump
against

Tiptoe

One final peep

Gentle kiss

On the cheek

Silence

My bundle of love

Fast asleep

Once in bed

Nothing said

On my pillow

I close my eyes

Searching for slumber

Trying to put my mind at ease

Sleep I seek thee

Take me far away

Sleep holds the peace
