Sleep

Lord, is sleep death or rest?

"Son, sleep is death; sleep is rest.
Sleep is fulfilling rest
When angels visit you
Or
You enter into the world
Of the illumining Beyond.
Sleep is death
When the vital world
Of
Destruction-night
Threatens you and frightens you.
Sleep is death
When you fail to see
The flow of Eternity's river
In
Your consciousness-realm."
