Happiness Is Sleep



When darkness descends and the heavens weep.
Listen to the rain and the notes that you seek.
Let the notes that send you to sleep,
take you to the place where your eyelids are weak.
Take a leaf from the tree in the sky.
Take a tumble and let yourself fall.
Tears from the rocks no need to cry.
The jungle talks the jungle calls.
Silence where the trees hug the wind.
Where a long summers day feels an autumn mist.
Silence when day kisses night.
Bliss.
Embrace the night sky like the moon embraces the sun in a solar eclipse.
Take a moment to pause , a literary ellipse...

We are one, all made from the sun.
We are infinity, united by humanity.
Happiness is sleep.
