Request

If a knife is not your gift
Or poisoned cup ours to share
Then I ask a small boon
A compromise if you please
Give me dreamless sleep
So I may practise death

A most interesting request. Gets the brain cells to moving.

deep sleep is so like peaceful death, closest thing maybe--that phrase got me thinking anyway, how we drift off .

Thank you all again.

It is kind of you to read these things...and more so to let me know you've read them...
