Sleep
Sleep is what we all love
Its lack is what we don’t deserve
Always we crave for nice, long slumber
She is the one which brings us vigor
She makes us smile when we reach for her
She holds us like a baby in her comfy warm hug
She keeps us away from wearing works
She is the one we always savor
When she arrives after exhausting daytime
She does demand certain settings
Quiet and dark are two important things
Tossing and turning are required sometimes
From time to time you need to count some sheep
Or concentrate on breathing for a little bit
Guided relaxing meditation is helpful at times
Sometimes some silent reading will do fine
Once she arrives near us fully
She closes our eyelids very gently
She takes us in magic world of her tranquil lullaby
Where we live our dreams and ideas and also fly
Morning arrives when we open our eyes
Feeling refreshed and relaxed after a sound night
Thank you dear sleep for being in my life
What would I do without your tender upkeep?
