Slumber

Sleep's strong arms encircle me
Softly kiss thick eyelids closed
Shut those eyes and try to see
A part within that's unexposed

Battles fought on unseen plane
Over lost time untaken back
Smooth away edges of day
Discover what's still intact

Slumber settles turmoil inside
Brings tomorrow to fight again
Tears now dried that have been cried
Gain control of an unending spin

Refresh the mind and one will find
A thing that's bright and new
Reach out for the other side
Find that which is long overdue
