The silence of sleep

Being awake is noisyThoughts clamber to the topI want to cut their climbing ropesTo make their murmur stop ‘Stop’, I say ‘no thinking hereFrom here all thoughts must endStillness is a blessingLet silence be your friend' ‘Stop’, I say ‘no speaking here’Press pause and say ‘no more’Breathe in and out more deeplyLet loose the words you can’t ignore Pause, let’s try againImmerse yourself inside the voidAllow your mind the space to breatheSo that peace can be enjoyed Pause, let’s try againThere's something to be saidFor a time without the noiseIt must be time for bed
