Let me sleep

Let me sleep - let me sleep
Sleep come drifting down on me
Drift in your wide, spiraling
Descent.
Like an eagle soaring and gliding down
to tend to her nestlings.
~ Sleep ~

Let your wings cover my eyes
take my churning mind and let my thoughts rest

Take my soul weaving and spinning
that intricate tapestry of that other world
of dreaming.

Spread the carpet before me to see
my wants and desires and dark broodings
in that rich and colorful world

Only to wake to forgetfullness
only to dimly catch the shapes and forms
of my own mind.

To forget the cold, definitive
world awaiting
Sleep take me.
