Sleep

It is a gift to close your eyes and sleep
To enjoy the healing balm of slumber
Slowly drifting away, lost in the deep
With no past or present to encumber
While dreaming winter dreams without number
Sleep's nothingness a special kind of bliss
From dusk to dawn the sweetest fairy kiss

A marvelous verse that not only reads and flows well, but clearly describes sleep and what it means to you and can be for all. Lovely writing! Michael

I am 53 years old and have been able to sleep all night for the past one month of my life. I had my sinuses operated on and for the fist time in my life, I can breathe all night long. I know what this poem is about. Tony
