the illustrations of William Joyce from
“The Sandman and the War of Dreams”
I have no trouble reaching sleep
Repose in slumber, low and deep
For mind and body ache for rest
At end of day, in linen nest
When knowing well you gave your all
You listen for the Sandman’s call
Who lures and lulls to quietude
Where stress and worry won’t intrude
There’s nothing else I know that feels
As good or helps your cricks to heal
Yet there are those that toss and turn
Whose faithful candle ever burns
I wish for you to find some peace
The turning mind will be at ease
And needed calm allows you mend
A recompense at long day’s end…
