Sleep is a blessed time granted, a step away from the oft bluntness, of the awakened mind
Dreams filter in, every once in awhile, perhaps to enlighten, but sometimes, seem quite sublime
In the darkness and stillness, a time alone, without advice, opinion, or others perceptions
A time of emptiness no palette or pattern, or those offering they’re guidance and directions
A sigh, ahh and breath, relaxing the regrets, setting aside, the feelings of despair
A time to drift gracefully, nothing concerning, or in need, of attention or care
A space given where nothing need be figured, slotted for engagement or assignment
But a slate that is vacant, away from human behavior, no wasting time, to put it all the pieces into alignment
Allow the Sun to set, the stars and moon to adorn, settling gracefully upon your mind
Not to figure out answers to questions, instead taking the time, and leaving it all behind
Allowing a moment to reflect, as your eyes slowly close, leaving it for another day
Giving the time to refrain from the past, while you go gracefully, upon your way
May you sleep in the graces of God’s embrace
Amen
