You are so dear to me, Oh Slumber.
Although, not always with me.
Eyes left wide in the darkness.
Lights glow in a dark, black sea.
But, when I fall under your spell,
Arise, refreshed, healthy and well.
My body cells rejuvenate.
Each evening your presence, I cannot wait.
Nightly for you I hunger,
The dreams saved for me, Oh Slumber.
Head on my pillow for the needed rest.
Please come to me to be your guest.
My shoulders in a relaxing shrug,
Anticipating your comforting hug.
Eyelids close as if to peek.
Patiently here, your touch I seek.
Please Oh Slumber, I beg you please!
Tonight an abundance of your lovely Z’s.
For without you nightly, I would surely perish.
Do not forsake me, this greatest wish.
