Somnolent

Go to sleep now
No need to fear old fears
Keep sweet dreams company
Void those harsh pains again

Roll over on your bed
Rest on soft pillow trance
Relax in fast getaway
Let thoughts cease to bite

Forsake this glorious madness
Slip away into slumber 
Somnolent moods conspire
To leach out bitter gall

Upon a path beyond this
Make mystic magic moments move
Drowsy dreamy delights dance
Heart heals hurling huge hurts 

Such is our sleepy lot
Hollow upon hollow
Slipping away to rest
To rise like the Phoenix once more
