Sleep is irresistible to the weary


Poem Artwork

It's almost time/
twilight slowly obscures the sky/
dark/
mysterious/
I await her entry call/
watch shooting stars/
fall/
forming a beautifully lucent veil/
that overlays the vale/
in a shimmering blanket/
she and I converge/
and/
as the processional commences/
dark/
mysterious/
she renders my defenses impotent/
I submit/
helpless/
helpless/
floating away/
I submit/
helpless/
to the place where my dreams breathe....

Ah, sweet sleep. Fortunately I get some between bouts of waking up to nature's call. You give it a beautiful, ethereal quality just like the process, itself.

I just read an article about a professor who teaches a course on Sleep and Dreams that is highly popular and his recent studies that have proven how important sleep really is for our well-being. I've known those that claim they could cheat sleep, but somehow, inherently, I knew they were wrong.
