I hope you sleep well tonight.

Let yourself drift off far away from our dirt of clay

to that place you’re free to stay,

to dance, and run, and play.

A land of beautiful mysteries, hidden treasures,

And guilty pleasures.

Where you devise how to reside.

This place exists for you solely.

An ancient space sacred and holy.

And when you return from your refreshing journey

May something precious with you carry.

A piece of yourself, on-hand and intact.

A key, a gem, or a single match.

May it strike your fancy and call you back

for another night to rest and relax.
