Sleep in distress

In the depths of night, when all is calm, A wearied soul seeks solace, body and mind, But sleep eludes, a restless storm, As stress and worries intertwine. Deprived of dreams that gently roam, Through fields of peace and tranquil bliss, The weight of burdens takes its toll, Leaving sleep a distant, treasured miss. Yet fear not, for within these lines, A gentle lullaby I'll weave, To soothe your troubled thoughts and minds, And grant the sleep you truly need. Close your eyes, release the strain, Let go of troubles, one by one, Breathe in serenity, exhale the pain, As quietude and slumber become one. Imagine a meadow, bathed in moonlight's glow, Where worries fade, lost in the night sky, Soft whispers of a gentle breeze bestow, A calming hush, as time drifts by. Each breath you take brings deeper rest, Relax your body, let tension cease, With every exhale, you are blessed, As tranquility spreads, bringing sweet release. In this peaceful haven, worries fade away, Replaced by stillness and serene embrace, Sleep finds its way, easing the fray, As dreams unfurl, tailored to your grace. So close your eyes and trust the night, Embrace the realm of dreams anew, For in slumber, troubles take flight, And rejuvenation will come to you. Remember, dear friend, stress may try, But in sleep's embrace, you will find, A respite from worries, where shadows lie, And a gentle, peacefulness to unwind. Rest assured, my dearest friend, Sleep shall find its way to thee, For in moments of quiet, worries transcend, And peaceful dreams blend seamlessly. May sleep be restored, and stress recede, As peaceful slumber graces your bed, Embracing dreams of joy and heed, Awakening to new beginnings ahead.
