Just sleep

When skies are inky black

Thoughts on pillow ,rest

The mind in doona wrapped

Silence, the only request.

Cocooned are the thoughts

When sleep is needed

No running around wild

Lay to rest, my child.

Thoughts, fence with words

But not tonight.

Tranquillity required

Stop the fight!

Deep in slumber

Do not disturb

To bed with thoughts

Peace is preferred.

All thoughts deceased

All is quiet, deep

A tranquil peace

A good nights sleep.

The best moments of any given day
those last seconds before you sleep

I believe angels sit by us before we sleep
That peace you feel
they are angels

I really believe this
