Oh! ! Restless mind why talk you so? <br />I want to sleep! I want to find! <br />Subconscious levels of my mind! <br /> <br />I want to dream I want to go! <br />To other realms I used to know <br />I want to fly! I want to race! <br />To other worlds in outer space <br /> <br />Why think you now of things to come <br />Of problems passed of actions done? <br /> <br />I want to walk along a beach <br />Where nagging time cannot reach <br />Timeless careless self serene! <br />Wrapped inside a perfect dream <br /> <br />I could have…yes…and next time...no <br />Oh! Restless mind don’t tease me so! <br /> <br />Let me find illusive rest <br />Let me wake and feel refreshed <br />Let me escape this conscious strife <br />That masks the living of my life <br /> <br />Oh restless mind you know me well <br />Hidden in this mortal shell <br />Another day to reach my goal…. <br />To find contentment for my soul…<br /><br />Mick Lines<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sleep-of-life/
