My reputation is sound
Sleeping deeply through the night
Early to bed, early to rise
Productive, if not wise
Last night to bed I went
Expectations set to sleep
Why then did I awaken
At one with tears still streaming
Then
Back to sleep and dreaming
What is breaking down inside me
What falls apart when I’m adrift
Upon the sleeping wings of spirit
To waken me each shift
Oh sadness, tell me that you’re leaving
Soon for good
And leave my rest in peace
And let me sleep and dream of beauty
And of love most understood
Let me dream of golden years
Bright sunlit walks anon
Let me go, I beg you
That I might wake once again
From tearless sleeps
Refreshed
Let the dawn break gently
Every twilight morn
Leave my spirit mended
And nightly rest unroused
Thank you for attending
To these mysterious bouts
Welcome when the tide is turning
Going out
Going out
Away with you go out
And let the sun roll in to shore
So I can dream and cry no more
