When Darkness Down

Healthy Mental Living

When darkness down

No matter where or when we are

Nature’s natural remedy sleep

And we close another daily chapter

Stress, worry, hate and fear

All falter with the medicine

Of slumber

 

Tomorrow’s celebrations or tasks

Debts, obligations - the daily race must wait

Sleep is paramount �" nature repairs and heals

The subconscious can concoct and elaborate

So today’s lively chapter is at a serious end

And as long as there is food, shelter

Tomorrow is but a link in the chain of life

 

Cannot escape this most creative body

With all its trials and tribulations

Day, night, we are what we are

Hard to accept�"but so is reality

While sensations, feelings

Are ever paramount and present

 

Slumber, sleep, rest

Change thoughts to pleasantries, to love, to happiness

Recharge your battery, for tomorrow will come

Meditate, believe, pray, hope

Awaken the positive chemicals

Within you

 

And bring on tomorrow
