It's Heaven When I Sleep

Weary at the end of a long, punishing day. It's heaven when I close my eyes to sleep; tightly-held preoccupations and woes drift away as I slowly sink into a calm, bottomless deep. Such a liberating escape, finally counting sheep. Off to dreamland, I go, and Morpheus leads the way. I wish you'd come with me, and off we'll creep to a peaceful heath in my dream where butterflies play Oh-No A Twisted Char-Lay Poetry Contest (Winner: 1st Place) Sponsored by charles messina Date written: 01/26/2020

Edward, I'm going to try thinking of that "peaceful heath in my dream where butterflies play" next time I'm trying to fall asleep. Marvelous writing! Congrats ~ John
