He smiles at me
When I sleepAfter my prayer,
My Lord smiles at my child-heart.
When I sleep
After my concentration,
My Captain smiles at my soldier-will.
When I sleep
After my meditation,
My Beloved smiles at my surrender-life.
When I sleep
After my contemplation,
My Friend smiles at my oneness-soul.
Sri Chinmoy, Sleep: death's little sister, Agni Press, 1974
