Take Me Away

To the land who pain unknown

In quiet folds, I drift away,
Where shadows mute the harshest day.
Sleep is soft, a velvet veil,
A boat to dreams that never fail.

The world outside, its claws retreat,
And I surrender, incomplete.
Pain dissolves, a distant cry,
As sleep unhooks the weary sky.

Numb to all that tore me down,
In sleep, I wear a dreamer's crown.
Each breath a step, each sigh a guide,
To places where my wounds can hide.

Here, I wander, safe, untorn,
A land where all that's lost is born.
No heavy thoughts to anchor me�"
Sleep is my flight, my sanctuary.

And when the sun begins to creep,
I long again for numbing sleep,
To free me from the weight I bear,
To hold me in its gentle care.
