Sweet Sleep
(A Sonnet)



While tucked within the creases of my dreams,
With pillow gently to caress my head,
I tossed within the soft and silken seams
Of comfort from the covers of my bed.

My eyes were tightly closed on peaceful face,
My body prone, serene, and quite relaxed,
My mind adrift away to far off place,
I smiled while possibilities climaxed.

This place I rest is too good to believe.
I want to stay as long as possible,
Prolonging all these joys that I perceive.
I loath to leave a spot so beautiful.

So let me sleep a little more, I pray.
It's yet too soon to greet another day.
