Silence

Watching him sleep he sighed
Eyelids closed, there is no flutter

Deep sounds of rising and falling breath
Mumbles from time to time are in depth

His eyes and mouth are finally closed
Respiration is slower and relaxation ensues

He seems so at peach for a few hours nap
Motionless, resting like a charmed bull

Oh God, look over this being of complaints
Peace at last – teac hm some restraint
