Sleep at Last

After an all night phone call with my husband...

Oh peaceful sleep how you eluded the night
Eyes closing as the sun shone bright
High over the trees where dreams should have been
Eyes stagger as the day begins
Needing to join the work force ahead
While the mind and spirit stayed in bed
Under the covers snuggled in tight
Wishing the sun soon turns to night
Oh peaceful sleep at long last is mine
Where dreams drift as the sun never shines
The night’s air soft caressing drugs
Feeling an overdose of kisses and hugs
