SLEEP

Sleep slip through my eyes

To hide under my head rest

I’ve waited for shadows to disappear

For the dreams I long to bear

But like hide and seek

I play to seek sleep and have dreams

Sleep slip through my head rest

To hide under my mattress

I’ve waited to lay my bed

For the dreams I long to bear

But like children on a swing

I roll from right to left to seek sleep and have dreams

Sleep slip through my mattress

And flew to the rooftop

I’ve waited to set my windows free

For the dreams I long to bear

But like a cargo just from oversea

I count boxes demarcating ceiling to seek sleep and have dreams

Take my thoughts and give me dreams

Thoughts may be wrong, dreams are always not

Tired of hide and seek and the way I swing

I’ve let the windows free, please come in with the breeze

Take these thoughts from me, come with the dream you promised
