You know that Lady Sleep is your lover
A mistress, ravishing, and smart
She calls to you wherever you are
She tugs upon your sad wearied flesh
You are tired, and tired of heart
Close your eyes, you begin to fall
She asks why you can't visit more
When you finally visit sleep
She asks why not stay longer
For she is charming, her thoughts wild
Her words move you
She is enchanting
Her being is constant
A force of nature
Her wit is delicious
As is her form
You're exhausted, she's there
She's been patiently waiting
Longing for your embrace
Her touch is so warm
Her form is fluid, alluring and soft
Unlike every thing else you've known
In this life and every area of existence
In your waking life you've suffered
Pain and toil, troubles of the flesh
But she gives you peace and only that
Restoring your energy by simple touch
She'll renew you, make exhaustion flee
She takes you to see extravagant places
And when you are ready to her sister Dream
When you wake up you are back in your bed
Rested, hopeful and can't remember why
But you know you woke with a smile
You must've had the time of your life
Until you visit Sleep and Dream again
You'll look forward to every next time
Your mistress she'll remain
