Time to Sleep

A Monchielle for "Stretch Your Style" using metaphor.

Time to sleep, time to dream,
Cloud softness ‘neath your head,
Muscles serenely posed,
Mind racing with day’s deeds,
Eyelids drift slowly closed.

Time to sleep, time to dream,
Morpheus welcomed, now.
Moving pictures appear,
On eyelid’s waiting screen
First confused…then come clear.

Time to sleep, time to dream,
Dream of places you’ve seen,
Dream of where you will go,
Dream of things you will do,
Dreams of your future flow.

Time to sleep, time to dream,
Dream of your heart’s desire,
Dream of one, maybe two
Tell each one to me. Then,
We’ll make them all come true.
