Sleep deep
Slip quiet into the darkening night.
Leave no ripples on the lake,
touch light the air you breathe
do not disturb the dusk,
The fading blues and white,
Calm the heart
stay the flickering eyelids
listen for the owl and fox
they must not hear your thoughts.
Blank your mind
neither think nor fear,
Laughter is another day,
Neither smile or weep
Do not mourn, nor please.....
Anger unknown,sickness gone awhile.
Smooth the wrinkled brow,
relaxed the arm lie down the limbs.
Sleep . . sleep . . . sleep and deep,
sleep the sleep of childhood
with dreams of yesterday
and remember not tomorrow.
