Ode to Dream
Oh, dream, think not of your worries
 It is time to forget
 Take off on your journeys
 Without becoming upset
 
 As the wind subtly disturbs open air
 It also ruffles the trees
 Giving tender loving care
 To you does it please
 
 Birds chirp softly in the grasses
 Singing their own tune
 As slow warm air passes 
 On this tranquil afternoon
 
 Let your mind drift away
 And your spirits run free
 Let it go every which way
 To the highest degree
 
 As your muscles run weak
 And your shoulders reach low
 Take a long deep breath
 Just let it go
 
 The subtle summer breeze
 Is like an angel’s touch
 How lightly does it tease
 It soothes so much
 
 A butterfly brushes your skin
 In a light ticklish manner
 Giving you a slight grin
 Of peace and glamour
 
 What will it take
 For you to finally rest?
 No longer lie awake
 Sleep shall not be repressed
 
 Take an unconscious path
 To the land of possibilities
 As an exhausted bath
 Free of responsibilities
 
 The radiant sun shines
 Upon your smooth-skinned face
 Smell and color combines
 Into one harmonic grace
 
 Deep breath in
 Deep breath out
 Gently fly away
 Beyond all doubt
 
 It is time for inactivity
 A deep undisturbed rest
 Greet sleep with receptivity
 Let slumber be a guest
 
 May the dimly lit sky
 Be a symbol of relaxation
 Let the time pass by
 In pure liberation
 
 Seize this chance of pause
 And close your eyes in relief
 For sleep has no flaws
 Hope it not to be brief
