Sleep
A moment of solace
meant to come as shadow takes the day

To some, a state of rest
To others, the only escape
To all, safety

Eyes, awakened and exposed
They become honed telescopes
Fixated on every burden

Shut, we transcend
Where eyelids become shields
Protection from the seen

Here's to the hope of better dreams
that come from better memories
of only the better times
