“Sleep”

Sleep be not too slow
    to take from me this pain.
Release your soothing glow
    and let me rest again.

Dreamless night unfold
    and close these tired eyes.
Still the time watch toll.
    Calm the Soul that cries.

Slumber, dark and deep,
    embrace me with your arm.
Warm, protective sleep,
    keep me from all harm.

Quietly away
   to sail into the night
Free at last today
   to stop the useless fight.

Death, be not to proud
   to steal this weary Soul.
Enfold it in your shroud,
   slumbering and cold.

Gentle Sir Moonshadow
your sadness engulfs me
stirs my wounded soul

do not say "Goodbye"
