Some days I sleep with angels
Where refuge can be found
I creep into their dwelling,
careful
not to make a sound.

I tune out all the clamour
     and troubles of my life;
    I seek a quiet respite
       from thinking of my plight.

I try to be un-noticed
so no one knows I'm there.
I want no interaction -
I've nothing more to share.

Lingering in silence
I make my shadow small
So please try not to see me
or speak to me at all.

My heart is battle weary;
     I have so little breath.
   I'm sad and I'm deflated
     All I want is rest.

Dear angels, look upon me
     while I am fast asleep.
   I beg you, sneak into me
   a breath of life to keep.

 
Tho sleep is but a shaddow
of death, 'tis peace divine!
If I cannot depart this earth
then sleep, I will be Thine.
