 Sleep

An altered state of consciousness,
Sleep brings me comfort and peace.
Gentle sweet dreams floating through;
Awakening relaxed, rested, ready.

Sweet is the time with my eyes closed;
Drifting away on clouds of restoration.
Welcome is this friend of mine every night;
Bringing me quiet, bringing me peace.

Vivid dreams will entertain me while I sleep;
Colorful imaginations as my brain downloads.
Some sweet and fluffy, others more pointed;
But all only images like in a Hollywood flick.

Having to adjust my sleep at times due to work;
Staying up all night, sleeping during the day.
Quickly falling into that sweet rhythm of zzz's;
Welcoming that bed in the morning with a smile.

Sleep used to be considered an enemy by me;
As I saw it stealing away a third of my life.
Now recognizing the beauty, the enhancement;
Embracing sleep like a dear true friend.

Good night…
