sleep sleep,

Cushioned by velvet darkness

In a soft, safe world

I know little about

 

Warmed by silky sheets

keeping my breath 

deep and smooth

and my eyes are growing heavy

 

Limbs are sinking

into the bed 

and my mind is sinking

to a land of dreams

 

Savouring the sensations

for I know

that the day

will be far less comforting
