Finding Sleep
Sleep come,
take away
My thoughts of loss
My worries of sadness
My fears of regret
Sleep come,
give me
Peace to live on
Safety to enjoy tomorrow
Energy to keep going
Sleep will help healing
So I may live while I am awake.

I can see you reciting this every night before going to sleep. It’s a worthy mantra to bring gentle slumber.

Nourishing the spirit, reenergizing the body. Sleep. Helping us keep a pace as time surges forward — a pace we are all destined lose, eventually.
