Natural Sleep Remedies


Sleep is imperative,
and we are aware of it;
but when we think, there it is
... it leaves us right where it is.

I think, thinking is not of it
(though dreaming is part of it);
so, try listening to other things
and think nothing of the narrative ...

Soon slumber comes, settling.
Or, begin a poem like this one is,
at four a.m.—too hard to think.
Now, here's a remedy! ... riddling.

Or, this is comparative:
Sense fingers, toes and eyelashes—
one at a time ... and think of it.
... When you can't, you'll sleep instead.

But, best of all is when He sings
within your heart a precious hymn
or gives a verse on which to think
and folds His peace beneath your chin.
