For sleeping beyond noon

a poem by Harley Bell

Cast away the heaviness
that does not serve you.

May you feel safe while the world
around you waits
for you to be exactly as you are.

When you wake, feel welcome.

May you slumber till any hour
that your body needs.

When you rise, rise gently.

Bless your boundaries
and be excessively patient.

Time moves differently
in the expanding realms of sleep.

All possibilities await you.
