Tread softly, gentle, slow;
do not wake me please
for the harmony unleashed
on a world fast asleep
leaves the mind a-teeter so
between the truth and lies.

What of a truth too feeble
to cut malaise from mortal life
and that heavenly peace bespoken off
kept unto itself?

But sweet, sweet, harmony,
you sneak into my sleep
and I move to the refrains
of an immortal truth
until awake I know
you’re a master of disguise
hiding so effectively
in the middle of a lie.

Now I lay me down to sleep;
tread softly, gentle, slow,
the harmony’s too deep
to hear, feel, know, the truth
when I’m not asleep!

You've built a library of knowledge

Well done!

Thanks, Sunshine! The sun shines on South Africa so beautifully these days from a clear blue sky. That is the best of my land at this time of year.
