A Sweet Surrender

"Mistress of dreams, The Keeper of the night, Sweet Slumber in mine eyes Come find rest from thy winged flight..." Whenever you are tired To bask within yourself, You might want to fall asleep... Whenever you're idle To explore the secretive mind, You might want to fall asleep.. Whenever sad, sick or 'fraid, Even so, to let thoughts cascade, To escape to a different world: To dream a little dream in faded light-- To create fantasy in black an' white, To build, to break, to destroy, Or just to find an unknown keep, You might want to fall asleep....
