Night's Refuge Poem by soren Barrett

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
