Sleep!

Sleep , sleep I would have you sleep Like the faltered rose Reflected in hour glass The pouring sand Keeping the time alive. The wind you are The face in the sea A blossom in thorns A perfume under trees. Wake , wake I would have you awake In the arms of sun Where you lean Behind the clouds To accumulate riches Shimmering rooftops Of the rain in stitches.
