Our final refuge,
Laid to rest, marked with stone.
The ultimate sleep.
Days end exhausted,
All energy expended.
Slumber recharges.
Eyes close
Heavy with fatigue.
Dreams.
Cuddle, spoon, sleep.
Warmth shared together
Body, spirit ...one

Aha...sleep...one of my favourite pastimes! ;)
Now if only I could subdue my thoughts I could partake in much needed slumber! Wonderful poem.
The ultimate. Makes it sound comforting.
Now I'm ready for a nap.
