Sleep Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Sleep



As automobile engine
Simmers down after an ardous trip
My spirit though is willing
But my body is jetlagged
I tried to shake it off
But the more I fall deeper into abyss
Eyes now heavy and tired
I dose away from the real
I gradually tansits to the dreamland
Snoring like an army of bees
Oblivious of our world
I go deep down into the dream world
Where I am sometimes excited
Or scared by my nightmares
But when the circle is completed
And the body is adequately rested
I come back to life again
Wondering when I fell asleep
But refreshed for my daily activities

While we rest we dream brightly if dream is fine - sound sleep and if horror - shouting, sweating awake

Sleep is favourable for all poor or reach or all creatures that refreshes all at a while. Very nice poem on sleep psychology. Well expressed.
