Mother

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.

Salute.

Go deep my reader

To the Eternal well 

The one unvisited until

You eventually sleep

Bathe and cleanse yourself 

Of all the troubles or pain 

Of which you might nightly weep

And remember to bring back a drop 

Of its essence as

Morpheus the Greek 

Bades you goodbye from his dark and 

Mysterious keeps

Use it to purify and sanitise 

Your old and eternal soul

It's how you'll forever win 

As you slowly grow 

Old
