Sleep
Slowly flows the evening in repose.
Softly life seeks its’ dark compose.
Silently they now repose.
Search, and in sleep, awake!
Seeking calm expose.
Simple thought shows
sleeping grows,
so doze.

Sleep
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
