The Sandman

 

Darkness grows as the shadow on the wall grows

stillness hovering in the air

while sleeps fingers reach to ensnare

and the dreams call to pull you under

 

Feel the heaviness encroach just as the nights encroach

a stealthy yet lethargic approach

there is only the internal lullaby

bidding you to drift away into the unknown

 

There is not a sound in the world of sound

no last stroke of a distant clock

nor a single unruffled bark

just a steady beating heart

 

That counts the hour to your final hour

when at last you must surrender

in full awareness you will be lost

 

So sleep now and forever sleep

do not listen to those who weep

we are not all but drifting sheep

waiting for you in the deep.

Not at all bad, could us some proofreading though particularly in the first stanza. Also, could probably nix the last stanza or modify it some.

 

 

Darkness grows as they shadow on the wall grows (if you do mean "they," then need some sort of pause after it like a common, but I think you mean "the").

stillness hovering in the air

while sleep's fingers reach to ensnare

and the dreams call to pull you under
