A Sweetening of Dreams
At the end of the day,
bedtime.
At bedtime,
a yawn.
At the yawn,
a closing of the eyes.
At the closing of the eyes,
a deepening of breath.
At the deepening of breath,
an arrival of sleep.
At the arrival of sleep,
a sweetening of dreams.
bedtime.
At bedtime,
a yawn.
At the yawn,
a closing of the eyes.
At the closing of the eyes,
a deepening of breath.
At the deepening of breath,
an arrival of sleep.
At the arrival of sleep,
a sweetening of dreams.
