when sunshine’s time is languid
moving with wind and space incurred
oft times tis only nighttime
a soul urgings can be heard
so sleep, my lovelies
and rest thine eyes
allow circumstance to usurp time
let dreams encroach upon sleeping minds
and sleep my lovelies sleep
when night has fallen and sun retreats
and sister moon's smile is cruel and cunning
why rage against dark’s tyrannical rule
is morn not still in the running?
awaken to a joyous sun
meant to be enjoyed
by daybreak most nightmares fade
and determined daydreams are rarely destroyed
so sleep my lovelies sleep
awaken to the morning

I like! Do you usually use the term 'lovelies' or is that to butter up the judge? :-P Just teasing. But this is a very good piece, I like it.
"let circumstance usurp your time"
Fascinating line. Thanks so much for your entry! :-)
