The Sleep Of Life Poem by Mick Lines

Oh! ! Restless mind why talk you so?
I want to sleep! I want to find!
Subconscious levels of my mind!

I want to dream I want to go!
To other realms I used to know
I want to fly! I want to race!
To other worlds in outer space

Why think you now of things to come
Of problems passed of actions done?

I want to walk along a beach
Where nagging time cannot reach
Timeless careless self serene!
Wrapped inside a perfect dream

I could have…yes…and next time...no
Oh! Restless mind don’t tease me so!

Let me find illusive rest
Let me wake and feel refreshed
Let me escape this conscious strife
That masks the living of my life

Oh restless mind you know me well
Hidden in this mortal shell
Another day to reach my goal….
To find contentment for my soul…
