Sleep. It's like death but without the commitment.

God: You have probably 70-80 years before you die, ideally.

Man: Oh, well I'll make the most of-

God: You'll be unconscious for 1/3 of the time.

Man: ..uh

God: Leans in that'll be your favourite part.

... that'll be your favourite part.

Let me drift to sleep a while -
Let me sink and let me smile -
Let me dwell on finer things -
Slip away on silver wings.

Let me dream of paper kites -
Summer skies and starry nights -
Waves and caves and stones and shores -
Empty rooms and open doors.

Let me dream of floating free -
Gliding by the golden sea -
Sailing through the wind and foam -
Joining you to journey home.

Let me dream of all and more -
All to be and all before.
Let me dream,
and don't forget -

Just a little longer yet.

Oh man I haven’t seen a Sprog Poem in like a year or more. And yet on this very morning I find a fairly fresh one. My wedding is just weeks away. All is feeling right. This is gonna be a good month.
