Beauty in sleep

Eyes closed, I roam about,
in the land of the fairies
the angels and dreams.

I drift away like weightless leaf,
as I fly with the wind,
in the cradle of her arms.

I weigh down in darkness,
in the depths of oblivion,
in the abyss of night.

Deep down in thought
surrounded by choices,
you carry me to fantasy land.

What peace you give
to the unsettling mind,
To the ravages of time.

I surrender myself,
to the beauty of sleep -
the instant death :
 night after night.
