Night's refuge

Sleep, peaceful gate, open wide your doors. 

At your threshold I leave shoes of sin as I enter in

I seek sanctuary on Hypnos' silent shores

Morpheus under glued lids, open my eyes to eternal dreams 

Where time disappears and seconds grow into years

Nature's laws do not apply and life's not what it seems

Life 'tis but a dream, passing in the blink of an eye

Melting shadows joys, pains, sadness gains 

Roads walked, lovers known, to erase all and die

By Mnemosyne's touch, to forget all of one's sins

Wiping clean the slate, in grave's sleep to wait

To start over, no regret, new life where all begins 

Author's Note

Hypnos god of sleep
Morpheus god of dreams
Mnemosyne goddess of memory

This reads like a lullaby whispered at the edge of mortality. Dream, death, memory, and rebirth woven in delicate verse. It feels ancient and eternal. Stunning work.
