If sleep is not at all deep
Do not self-pity and weep
Mind's sanity, you must keep
Then benefits, you can reap

After a sedative consumption
If happens no sleep-resumption
Mind wavers is the presumption
It is a very perfect assumption

Your mind, you must have to tame
For sleeplessness, it is to blame
If it aims for name and great fame
It may lose sleep in this life-game

How to sleep everyday peacefully?
How to relax daily very gainfully?
How to meditate highly successfully?
How to live this fine life usefully?

Answers are made easily available
Amidst tears, life-boat is sail able
To do the duty, God is ever favorable
A pure mind makes peace obtainable

Be dutiful leaving to God the result
Be prayerful for God's heart to melt
Proper sleeping pattern for an adult
Is tied secretly in a man's own belt

To deeply sleep, do proper meditation
During sleeping time, avoid cogitation
Keep your mind calm stopping agitation
Allow not in tears, heart-irrigation

Pray, work, earn and take adequate rest
Welcome sleep who is a temporary guest
Soundest sleep is always the truly best
Sleep clears mind of Yesterday's dust

Though sleeping state is only temporary
Benefits of sleep are really exemplary
Sleep is lost by an unnecessary worry
And of course by having too much merry

Life's happenings, mind must balance
In bank account, there must be balance
Pray during night's superior silence
Peace and sleep will come in abundance.

A thoroughly enjoyable read. Frankly, I must tell you that it is very late here in the Midwest (early for some)and I was considering cashing in my chips until I came upon your poetry...

Now I've changed my mind and will likely read it again. I don't know whether to thank you or curse you.

I might add since you brought it up, that I very much enjoyed the rhyming.

...just bein' Bluesy
