Fateful Sleep

Drift softly away

down a bubbly creek

close your eyes tight

you are falling asleep.

if you concentrate hard

you will see in the streams

you’ve lost yourself senseless

on a river of dreams.

do not stir now dear

for if you awake

you’ll panic and drown

in the depths of the lake.

Float along darling

on oceans of blue

what you don’t know

can never hurt you.
