Sleep
by Edeltraut Liebgart Scheffler-Plath
Sleep I could not,
Therefore, out of bed I got.
E-mails bothered my mind:
No peace I could find.
The reason for my distress
was a guidance to success:
Surprisingly I found right now
What I was long searching for
Wow.
Back I can go to sleep with pride
After that strange Internet ride. :-)
Take Me under Your Wing
Take me under your wing,
And bring - peace to my mind.
Provide me with shelter
From helter-skelter
Thoughtlessly bred, and fed -
With dangerous results.
Let me rest - at best -
From turmoils endured,
To be assured to rise once more,
And come ashore - reborn;
Freed from former grief,
Eager to spread my wings
With joy - that rings,
And echoes aloud;
Bursting through every cloud
That tries to destroy
A peace profound
That's bound to last;
For finally the past -
Has been cast - off!
