Sleep, dear one

Sleep, dear one

Close those eyes

to things that fire

the embers of your mind

Sleep, dear one

Let your slumber disperse

buzzing sounds

that crowd your being

Sleep, dear one

Dream away

thoughts that sway

truthful trees of wisdom

Sleep, dear one

Drift away

from this world

for it drowns out calls

of your loving heart

And when sweet one

you finally awaken

open the eyes

of your tender heart

for they’ll look within

to see

that your true world lies

amidst a universe deep

in the heartland of love

resounding melodies

of your eternal self.
