Sweet dreams

sleep shows up unannounced
sometimes it seems like it has no right
but it must come
it just has to

so with the stars as your blanket
and the moon as your pillow
you can safely drift off to the land of dreams

you can dive in to the deepest ocean
to swim with the graceful jelly fish and
the gentle whales
and you don’t need to go to the surface for air
you can just swim on

or climb the highest mountain
with snow pounding against your face
and the deadly cold taunting you to turn around
but you don’t
and you make it to the top and you laugh
you just laugh for the sake of laughing

or go where you never have gone before
to do the impossible

so go to sleep
and when you wake up in the morning
I’ll be waiting
for you to tell me all about it
