Sleep

The day has come to an end

And night time claims its birth.

This is the time for rest,

As a weary body knows it needs.

 

Succumb to the tiredness

That a day of hard work produces.

Lay your head down on a pillow

And let sleep envelope you.

 

For seven or eight hours

Your body will recoup its strength.

The nothingness that sleep provides,

Leaves our mind fresh for another day of work.

Wise words. Like "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Something I firmly believe in that many people ignore. It works for you and me and that's what counts.

My poem on Saturday is about lying (down to sleep in a prone position) and not about the other kind. So I'm right up your alley with this theme.
