verse for sleep

soul as nocturnal being

"spiral spirit" by rick tan, acrylic on canvas

an angel's inky blue veil
descends from the heavens
i close my eyes to welcome sleep
so that my body may rebuild
and my mind may release
the nocturnal nature
of my spirit self


free to travel
about the cosmos


chance meeting
with destiny
exploring all
possibilities
making unbiased
opinions
digging deep
into the unknown
cultivating
seeds of hope
embracing
fearfulness
flying high
by simple will
dancing with
the stars
finding insight
into worldy matters
and
receiving
God's graces.
