To Sleep Poem
I was quietly asleep
I was dreaming pleasantly
It was a good refreshing rest
…and the dreams were a hopeful set
When I'm in sleep
please don't disturb me
Napping's an oasis in life
…which fuels the body for the next strife
To sleep's to be at peace
to awake's to be at war
so, why doesn't the world repose more?
To sleep's to be still
to awake's to be un-chilled
The world needs more times of stillness
…from the troubles that beset
Why can't we dwell in peacefullness more?
...instead of fighting 24/7 wars?
Do not worry about the enemy
...heartsease too, is their remedy!
