*by William Roberts*

Now I lay me down  
Tender pillow, carry me softly  
  
To a place, where butterflies  
light on cotton candy and  
bubblegum trees are never cut down  
  
Pirouette, grand plié  
Bearded iris, dancing star  
Merci! A tout de suite  
  
Guardian angel lays beside me  
Wipes the tear from my eyes  
  
Nudges the demons  
From my distant memory  
  
Then suddenly, sunlight beckons  
Solemn slumber, sleep life ends
