Sleep
He eludes me this night
Banished by the very mind
Which craves him so
Is the freedom that he offers
Really free?
Such sweet release he brings
At a price I cannot pay
Empty my rampant mind
And smother my wandering soul
What dreams keep me from dreaming?
Trees dance
Dragons speak
Even demons love
And my heart sings its eternal song
My eyes close
Heavy with the burden
Of my restless thoughts
So heavy
They are shackled
Imprisoned behind rusted iron
The bars in my mind
Longing to be unleashed
They call to me
Trapping me with them
Away from the warm embrace
Of sleep
I so crave
Quick now!
Free them!
Write them down!
Write under the 100 watt sun
Or Selene herself!
Until Helios delivers his passenger
Write
Under the the true light
As he rises
And be free
Restless night escapes the day
And the day escapes me
Until finally
My eyes close freely
My gift
My burden
My dreams that keep me from dreaming
