A Prayer to Hypnos at Night
Lord of quiet hours, Weaver of dreams,
As the world grows hushed beneath twilight’s veil,
I offer this breath in reverence and trust.
Wrap me in the folds of Your gentle cloak,
Let the weight of the day fall away.
Close my eyes with Your softest touch
Silver lidded, starlit, serene.
Guide me into slumber sweet and deep,
Where no fear may follow,
And every dream sings softly of peace.
May Your sacred river flow through my rest,
Carrying me gently from night into dawn.
Blessed Hypnos, kind and calm,
Guard this sleep as You do all mortals,
And bring me safely into morning light.
Goodnight, Beloved One of Night.
