Until Day.
Oh Sleep, blesséd eraser
of anything
painful, hard or serrated,
you smoother
of all things feeling rough,
cover me over
in enough soothing cream
to remind me
that troubles can melt into
dreams, for
lightning found and hit me
tonight like
a frightful assassin, attack
from behind
stabbed me in my back now
to my knees,
shiveringly near to fear and
desperation it
has produced an ill-at-ease.
Sleep, be my
ally, please lie with me until
day, embrace me
in hazy unconscious relief
then release
me when better able to fight.
Right now I
am tired, such bad news has
confused freedom
of thought, faith abused, now
I need time
for re-alignment, so sink me
Sleep into your
blankness, reduce my anxiety
douse the fire
of resentment, relax the intent
for dire revenge
and kill my recent insensibility,
Sleep, keep
me with you until I see clearer
what is the
wisest to do, float by me your
boatful of lullabies,
Oh Phantom I know that most
welcome land
awaits so take my hand, then
float me away

If any poem should be heard, it's yours, for the plea to sleep, sleep away the fears, the troubles, the night away - till the light of a fresh new day.
The joy of sleep takes away the troubles of that day and you awaken into a bright, new better day. Great write Fay.
