Restorative Sleep
bathe thy wounds
in dreams of life
and wake to strive
onward
for yet another day
for sleep
restores
psyche with visions
amazing insights
washing clean
souls excommunicated
by errant misdeeds
with ritual balm
blessed sleep
misfortune cleans
envy ambition hate
from an infinite reservoir
wells of inner strength
waiting
to be drawn
upon
if we
choose
to walk
to
the wells
of life
renewal
to draw
sanctified water
an inner self
a divine soul
heaven aspires
which raises repentance
as positive potential
while the tyrant dreams
thus committing no evil
sleep is the inquisitors
the touchstone of souls
which cannot
be suppressed
stirs indefinitely
therefore
recuperate
rest upon
insight gained
viewed within
from sire God
as a lesser miracle
communicated to
the great host held
captive nightly
by
restorative sleep
I bathe
my
wounds
in
dreams
of life
and
wake to
potential
drawing upon
wells of life
inner vision
