Count the sheep
That do bleat
Sleep Sleep
Don’t count time
Shut your eyes
Peep Peep
Calm your mind
You’re behind
Sleep Sleep
Grab your nets,
Hunting blinds
Sheep Sheep
Eyes kept closed
Don’t show those
Peep Peep
It caught you
What to do?

Get the best
Of your rest

The Golden Valley
The difference between light and dark could be as quick and simple as a flip of a switch, the drawing of a curtain, the opening of one’s eyes. It could be more gradual like the slow adjustment of the diaphragm on a microscope, the turn of a planet on its axis, the growing light as you approach the end of a tunnel. A flicker in the dark, a steady glow in the distance, a flash in the night sky.
