sleep now

let the cool darkness
wash over you

lay all your problems down
it's been such a long day
and there's nothing else
you can possibly do

but close your eyes

untangle your mind

the Japanese sandman
will be here soon

so float downstream
through this lush
and soft rain garden

you'll be safe here
I came by earlier
and sent all the demons
and worries away

let every muscle loosen
and surrender to gravity

surrender to the temporary
abyss

there is nothing here
but you
and God

and the seeds of
sweet dreams
awaiting you.



and if you're not drowsy yet, buy my book!

How comforting and serene! This would be fantastic over my bed in framed needlepoint...

To paraphrase Homer (Simpson, that is); "Ah, sleep, is there anything it can't do?"
