Falling into sleep
Done counting sheep
My neurons on fire
I’m ready to be a flyer
Inside out I emerge
I cannot fight the urge
Leaving my body behind
I’m finding peace of mind
Drifting so high
Like a bird in the sky
Diving down low
Like seeds in the row
Deep thoughts now free
Skip over the highest tree
All while I am in slumber
As eye movements grow in number
My sleeping self sedate
These images my brain create
Play out all around me
Far as the imagination can see
My thoughts without a care
Performing somersaults midair
To the boundary of belief
Stealing illusions like a thief
Fragments of REM remain
Striving to sleep in vain
With clarity coming round
My ears pick up every sound
Floating on a silver moonbeam
Or caught inside a wild dream
Like flowers tracking the light
I wish myself a good night
