When cold, bitter winds blow <br />Barren trees pregnant with snow <br />Street lamps offering their muted glow <br />Traffic meandering at a cautious flow, Such a pleasure to be inside <br />Where a toasty fire abides <br />Almost a mortal sin to hide <br />From the seeking elements A cozy blanket at my feet <br />Coaxing sleep softly entreats <br />As waves of Beta and Theta meet <br />Wakefulness moans in complete defeat. Ohhh, surrender can be so sweet!<br /><br />A.J. Bland-Fears<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-seductive-sleep/
