In Repose

Now I lay me down to sleep

I hope dreams will bring me peace

If I should die before I wake

Please let them be okay

While I lay here quietly

Hoping sleep brings them peace

My mind is still racing

Such wondrous times are these

Strange days

I am floating above

My head hits the pillow and I

Am sinking into the deep

Staring down at the sky

The moon and stars fade to ghosts

As I swim through the abyss

Soaring through space

Shifting through time

So peaceful this place

Then I awake

Now I lay me down to sleep

I hope this world finds its peace

This year’s been painted red

Lined with silver in the end

Lined in silver
