Love Letter to Slumber

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.
