The Wave

Its time to sleep
Tucked under deep
A place that we can treasure
A human pass time pleasure
A time where the body mellows in stillness 
A time for the mind to wander 
Upon daytime ponder 
A private place that we cradle
Some thoughts feel so fatal
Mocking a movie scene
Your dreams
Of unrealistic views 
While you’re under a snooze 
You wake with shock and confusion 
It had to be real not an illusion 
Then fall back  
To what you know
The peaceful sinking 
To logical thinking 
Low 
Ebbing breath
Off you go 
So slow 
Toward your trance 
Into your sleeping dance
Its time to sleep 
Tucked under deep
Without a peep  
Embraced
