Dear sleep;

Stop singing your sweet
lullabies, Your siren song
of slumber
It’s not time just yet

I see you there- with
your fluffy pillows and
your comfy, warm
extra big blankets

Come to me, come to me
you need your rest and I
grow lonely for your company

I know you do sleep, but my
job is not yet done-
I have more things to write before
I crawl to you and submit you your
bidding

Sleep, you’re a patient mistress
willing to wait for how long it takes
me to get back to you
Just wait please-
it will be soon, i promise and then
we will soar together

you will envelop me in your warm
cocoon of safety-
and there i will remain until I’ve
rested enough
Wait for me.

Love, Me
