....................

Sleep...

I am tired...
Lay me down to sleep...
Curl me into a small ball tight...
And wake me up not again...

I am tired...
Close my eyes in darkness...
Still my quiet breathing...
Let not the light enter my lids...

I am tired...
Wrap me in linen white...
Take the colour from my lips...
On soft sheets let me lie...

I am tired...
Gently lower my body...
Let my mind wonder not...
Let my spirit be at peace...

I am tired...
Play no more games with me...
Let me in the deep night slumber...
Let my heart no longer beat...

I am tired...
Plant a kiss upon my brow...
Wish me dreams as sweet as sweet...
Heavenly thoughts be mine to meet...

I am tired...
No need for vigil at my side...
Just a final bedtime prayer...
Of commitment to the holy heir...

I am tired...
Its only farewell for a little while...
Soon the morning will come around...
Waken by the trumpets sound...

I am tired...
Weary am I of this constant strive...
May the glory of the holy light...
Cleanse my soul a gleaming bright...
