God of the Blissful Moonrise,

As daytime’s shift brings forth nighttime’s reign,
Sleep nears.
Our eyelids become heavy.
Our head nods.
And today must bid adieu.

Bless the pillows that hold our heads
And absorb our dreams.
Support our weary necks
Aching from the long days.
May the wisdom of sunlight’s hours
Rest well as we sleep,
Allowing today’s worries to hibernate-
At least until morning.

May our pillows continue to balance us
Cool us when we are warm,
And warm us when we are cool.
May it’s gift to us be a restful night of sleep
As we resume our lives as dawn awakens.

Amen.
