Tonight When I Sleep Poem by Randy McClave

Tonight when I sleep I will sleep with joy and happiness
I will not need protection from pills or even that of a lovely prayer
Sleep will come naturally, and peace I will find it nonetheless
I have released my demons, and I will not be tortured with a nightmare.

I will keep all of my dreams and also my fantasies
I will release my sadness and anguish and all of my despairs
Goodnight, I say to the illusions when I fall to sleep with the centuries
The man who doesn't have dreams, he will be plagued by nightmares.
