sleep – Picking Up Roots

Music

raindrops play their song
upon the rooftop;

their timing impeccable,
their rhythm sublime,
they are always
in tune

drift into sleep,
find peace in your dreams,
on this night
Nature provides
a soothing score

Racing

mind on the run,
racing through the night,
stealing precious sleep;

there is no prize
for worrying the most

Rain

ears stretching
into the darkness
seeking the soothing patter
of raindrops upon the roof,
hoping their rhythm
will bring rest
to a restless mind;
a comfortable backdrop
for dreaming
