I SLEEP

I sleep as the earth sleeps,
in the golden sands,
beneath the night sky,
or in the winters' snow.

I am a ghostly image of life and death,
as I sleep,
and I sleep as if I am dead,
by time itself to the end.

I retreat to my tomb,
I am a ancient Egyptian dead.

I sleep as the earth sleeps,
in the golden sand,
beneath the night sky,
or in the winters' snow...
