Flower Path
via flickr.com
May flowers always line your path
and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you
every step along the way.
May a rainbow run beside you
in a sky that's always blue.
And may happiness fill your heart
each day your whole life through.

May sleep envelop you as a bed sheet floating gently down,
tickling your skin and removing every worry.
Reminding you to consider only this moment.

Traces of Morning

There were hints of sunrise on the rim of the sky,
yet it was still dark,
and the traces of morning color were like goldfish swimming in ink.

Beautiful Bedrooms Around the World
via amazon.com
This book assembles hundreds of the most exceptional bedrooms from around the world—New York and New Delhi, Paris and Bangkok, the Pacific islands and the African interior—captured by renowned photographer and inveterate traveler Deidi von Schaewen. In the French Riviera, Pierre Cardin’s sixties-era bedroom features a round bed and curved walls. In Gujarat, India, nomads unfold colorful patchwork blankets to sleep on the floor of their hut. In Shikoku, Japan, hanging paper lamps and movable screens create a serene bedroom and meditation area.
Contemporary or classical, minimalist or extravagant, European or Asian—each bedroom has a unique design that expresses the inhabitant’s lifestyle, taste, and passions. By bringing together so many gorgeous examples in one sumptuous volume, Beautiful Bedrooms Around the World offers an intimate cross-cultural view of the way people live—and sleep—all over the globe.

May the wind blow us joy,
May the sun shine down joy on us,
May our days pass with joy,
May the night be a gift of joyful peace!
May the dawn bring us joy at its coming!

'Twas the Night of Thanksgiving
via stanford.edu
'Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep
The leftovers beckoned--The dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation,
The thought of a snack became infatuation,
So I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground!
I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky,
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie,
But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees,
HAPPY EATING TO ALL!
PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE!

Sleeping Queens
via amazon.com
Imagine a place where there's a queen of all pancakes, a king of cookies and a pack of over-protective dragons.
If this sounds like something out of a dream, it actually is! Sleeping Queens was invented by 6-year-old Miranda Evarts, who thought up the game one night when she couldn't fall asleep.
She awoke the next morning and with help from her older sister, Madeleine and her parents, Denise and Max created this wonderfully whimsical world of napping nobles.

Moonlight

Yes: I am a dreamer.
For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight,
and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Go to Sleep, Russell the Sheep
via goodreads.com
Russell can't sleep. While the other sheep are dozing off, he ponders the problem of insomnia. Is he too hot or too cold? Perhaps a better place would help. When nothing works, he tries counting things. He starts with his feet, and then moves on to the stars ("six hundred million billion and ten")–twice.
Finally, the quintessential cliché comes to him, and he counts sheep. Russell nods off just as the new day dawns and the others awaken.

Dream Clouds
via flickr.com
And then the dream clouds came
the day has ended with a soft evening sky,
And with you in minds reflection
with tear's in my eye -
then the dream clouds came
and whisked me away
to set sail in the winds to a heavenly day
as I go into the great slumber
and awake in the land of light
I must say goodbye - in that goodnight...
