Sleep swiftly ‘neath the covers;
Dream of what you cannot own
Let your mind sing of wonders
Forget what you have known.

Don’t dwell on hidden meanings –
Make the most of this era
Pull the pillow closer
Make this time all the dearer.

Wake up to soft scents
Blink open bleary eyes
See what you have to see
Sleep again with a sigh.
