A prayer for the sleepless

Hungry dreamer, break thy fast

Let the slumber come at last.

Clouds for pillows, sands of sleep

Breathe within to fall in deep.

Let go the woes of wary days

Embrace instead that soothing daze.

Sheets of heavenly threads embrace

As fingers curl in the dreamful lace.

Blessed be you in this moment

Take in palm the ferry’s token

Set thy sails for Dreaming’s shore

And let thy wine so gently pour.

Sip this breath and savor the rousing

Of this wave of sleep that’s gently drowsing.

Heavy lids do wish to kiss

Now sleep dear dreamer, in restful bliss.
