Eyes so heavy, lids slowly sinking
covering sleepy chocolate brown eyes
quickly fluttering open, fighting to focus
Gradually descending.
Precious sleep.
Eyelashes, black, long and thick
lying on round, pink, warm cheeks.
Peaceful sleep.
Steady, deep, measured breath,
rise and fall, rise and fall
safe, secure
fast asleep.
Arms enfolding a favorite, well-loved toy
holding close, snuggle deep
a sigh, a twitch
dream-filled sleep.
Covered, protected, wrapped, securely warm
comfortable, safe, cozy
restful sleep.
