Literature Text

Slip between cool sheets and into oblivion
Sweet waves of nothing take you away
Dreams, those wonderful things
Settle softly into your consciousness
Float away on the rhythms of the night

Soft algorithms, pause, redeem, cash-in
Sift and shift, on with the night’s soul
Dark wine flowing we turn, and turn, and turn
Speak the language of darkest night
And cool-aired heights to take us away

Until tomorrow we arise,
And drink again of the day

It's got poetic possibilities; something about the rhythm of the words doesn't maximise those yet. It needs a stronger flow.
