SFW Sleep Aid Audio - A poem about sleep personified with rain sounds and a little humming/soft singing at the end
Are you still not asleep, my love? Come to bed, yes. Come to me, my love.
Come into my arms and let me hold you. Why do you hesitate? I'm here for you now.
Oh, you don't recognize me, but you do know me. You know me intimately. I come to you every night.
I'm here with you every night. I take you into my arms. I hold you and caress you like a lover.
I transport you to places unimaginable. And yet you resist me. You resist me every night.
I offer myself to you and you push me away. Just as you're pushing me away tonight. Just as you push me away right now.
Look at me. Look at my face. And look at my body.
I am beautiful. You desire me. You crave me and need me.
Yes, you agree. You know that you want me even while you resist me. Put away your resistance and come to me.
I am beautiful and I am soothing. I am warmth and I am solace and comfort. I am a soft embrace and a gentle kiss.
I offer you my love and yet you still resist me. What is it that concerns you? I know that life is stressful and that the stress compounds your brain.
Your stress makes it hard for you to accept me. I know that many things burden you. I'm familiar with them all.
Every night while you struggle with my embrace, your burdens play through your mind. You cannot stop them and they overwhelm you. But I bring you relief.
I bring you escape from your worldly troubles. I am your refuge from the storm. Yes, you agree with me again.
Lay down your burdens, set aside your stress, experience the freedom of my embrace. I am here for you. Come now my lover, it's time for you to lay with me.
Take me in your arms, embrace me, and I will hold you. End your struggle against me. Do not fight.
I will not harm you. I offer you my dreams, rest, escape, refuge. But ah, I can tell I'm losing you again.
Even though you know you want me, you continue to resist me. To bed with you now, join me in your bed, lay down, put your head in my lap. I stroke your hair.
I rub your temples. I kiss your forehead. I am the stars that shine on you.
I am the moon that bathes you in heavenly light. I am your guardian, and you are my child. I am your lover, though unrequited and reviled.
Requite me. Make yourself whole by coming to me. Yes, my love, finally, finally you make the right decision.
You come into our bed and lie next to me. And now I climb on to you, wrap my arms around you, and give you my loving kiss. Now my love, enter me, and allow me to enter you.
Become one with me. For I am your lover, the one who comes to you at night. For I am your dearest friend who knows all that troubles you.
For I do not judge, but offer respite. And now you know my name. As you and I commune together, as we become one being together.
You know my name. Whisper it to me, my love. I am sleep.
I am sleep, and you are mine, tonight and every night. Rest yourself, my love, my child. Rest in my arms.
Sleep and dream until the morning wakes you and I am gone. But know that I will return again tomorrow. And I will love you, and you will love me again.
For I am your lover. I am your greatest friend. I am sleep.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high. There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Bum bum bum bum bum.
Bum bum bum bum bum. Bum bum bum bum bum bum. Bum bum bum bum bum bum.
Mmm mmm mmm mmm. Mmm mmm mmm. And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
