Single Syllable Sleep
Sleep can fix
a mind that cries
a chest that heaves
a breath that sighs
Close your eyes
Curl your legs
Hear the beat
your pulse begs
Sleep can heal
a soul that mourns
an eye that droops
a heart that burns
Rest your head
Say no words
Hug the sheets
Do not stir
Sleep can cleanse
all thoughts of dread
that taint of doubt
those words he said
Live in your dreams
Make them your home
Hold to that peace
A new day will come
