Before Bed
Before Bed
...I'll need a few things.
I need a good melody
to loosen my bones
and liberate my soul.
I need inspired lyrics
to remind me sweetly
of what I already know.
And I need to let go,
to dance a hundred dances
before collapsing into sleep.
Then in the morning,
I'll need to trip the light
so upon waking I can see
what the new day has in store.
If music be the food of love,
play on.
~ William Shakespeare
