Sleep Well

I long for the night
for a blanket over my turmoiled mind
for silence, for peace

I dream of world
cloaked in moments so true —
   Peace like the air; forever

Sleep, child
let the nightmares be your guardians
these monsters are yours

Tall and fierce, they guard
as strongly as your beating heart —
   You control your life
