63 The Art of Sleep

7 3 2
                                    

As the day wanes by,
and the stars appear in the sky.
The night’s melodies serenade me.

My eyelids grow heavy,
Signally that for sleep time I am ready.
The problems of the day I let be.

Avoiding blue,
I wear every other hue,
I dress for the occasion.

My head rests on the pillow,
Fluffy and soft like a marshmallow.
Comfortable in my location.

I drift off into another land,
Where imagine is something grand.
And dreams are crafted with delicate care.

An alternate universe,
A place where I have a full purse.
The only place my thoughts are bare.

A dream land sparkling,
In the distance if you’re glancing.
Where everyone’s truths are hidden for the end.
