Sleep

Gently falling into slumber Waves of silent breaths unfurl Pillow soft, head, tis under bundled under blankets curled Breathing slows heartbeat settles floating softly upon flower petals Silky cuddled comfort sets A day of blunder soon forgets drifting off feels like a cloud nothing pressing nothing loud floating above in skyward motion dreamland comes swaying like the ocean fall away from all that stresses during the day forget the messes light as air deeper in sleep till morn does rise and bird songs seep

You certainly know how to make drifting off into Dreamland sound appealing Lisa. So many struggle to get a good night sleep, a basic human need

Thank you, Tom. i understand the struggle of a good night's sleep. (The birds, for me, make it better :))

PS. Some are annoyed to hear birds in the morning. I love it
