Sleep Sweepers

Is there really such a thing as sleeping? Are those vivid "dreams" that seem so real actually just a dream? Perhaps there's something else really going on...

This is the first of a series that I intend to have it tell a story and perhaps it will become a book of its own someday.

 

As I lay me down to sleep 

I pray that the lord

Will allow me to wake

 

Now that I know how they creep

Resting ones eyes is truly fake

 

Little blue men with legs like goats

Fliter in from a dense gray smoke

 

They sweep through the room

Illustrating a dream

 

Leaving you to claim

What will never be the same

 

Awaken to light, blinding your sight

You'll only remember what was swept from the night

 

If you see them, pretend to sleep deep

Pray that the blinding light

Will be your last leap
