Shut Down Button

I dreamt I had a shut down button That switches off the lights in my brain, My mind screen went blank, it was sudden, As if God Himself had cut the main, I closed my eyes and reached Slumberland, 'cross far aways and once upons hurled Wow! That was quicker than a quicksand, Dreams and wishes of a sleeping world, How good it would be if I could close My nimble mind to all its dull thoughts! Then easily I could go to doze, Without tying up my mind in knots. 07.13.2020
