Eyelids Fade As eyelids fade To seal dreams When fatigues seeps And creeps upon you Like the gloaming That turns to night Resist not sleep's desire For while gentle slumber Lays restful and peaceable The world rages on In interminable unrest Awakened and frantic Let those eyes heavy close And let sleep cocoon you Escaped and free from burden Dream now and smile in darkened nights The world can not reach you When eyelids fade and seal dreams _________________________________ Written in a state of exhausted fatigue as sleep closed in...
