footprints in the earth.....

Sleep

To lay and die yet live
To journey to uncertain lands
Eyelids shut in obedience
To natural law from whence

To dream as in a scene
From real life theater drama
Limbs poised for incubus
To dare to fight yet toss

Precious trance of creation
rest for the weary soul  
Then awaken to with a sigh of lip
After the daily rite of sleep.
