Life Nurturing Sleep
Sleep! when you ally with my eyes,
they become heavy.
They shut their windows
and find the bright as envy.
Sleep! when you weave
the colour thread of dream
then you ally with soothing moonbeam.
Sleep! Sometimes you lead me to fairyland.
Sometimes land of despair.
At night you are always my close neighbour.
But sleep when you
carry me into the deep
and dreams no more
Sail their ship.
I enjoy your serenity
which nurtures my life
and increases my potentiality.
