Deep Sleep

As the motions
of the moon 
     keep us guessing 
we wait here on 
       earth
for some kind 
        of salvation
  Experiments and empires 
rise and fall
    but the starlight 
    keeps us smiling
              even as darkness 
   spreads its cloak
               over us
    One last chance
           is what we ask 
for
     all we really need
Morpheus embraces us
We fall into a deep sleep
