Yearning for the Stars’ Repose

Sleep, how I have missed you so,
You have ventured away,
With no reason why,
Like shadows at the end of day.

The nights stretch on, an endless tide,
Whispers of dreams that fade and hide.
In twilight’s arms, I long to lay,
To chase the worries of the day.

Yet here I wander, eyes awake,
In silence filled with thoughts that ache.
Oh, sweet embrace, come back, I plead,
For in your depths, my soul is freed.

Bring the comfort of your soft retreat,
Where time unwinds, and hearts can meet.
So, guide me gently, let me find,
The solace only you can bind.

In slumber’s hold, my hurt will cease,
As dreams weave stories, bringing peace.
So, I await, with hopeful sigh,
For you, dear Sleep, to draw nigh.
