Virtue of Sleep

Tonight I dine where sleep reigns,
And devour the elixir of life’s greatest recipe.
A taste suffices, for the eyelids wilt, as flowers in their final farewell,
And breath and mind slow to the ever gentle ticking of time,
As if the sea itself were closing in on each and every part of my being.
Patience pays its due, leaving I, a feather pleasantly floating towards an unknown,
Lifted and drifted in ritual of dance.

Why didn't anyone review this song?! I really like it. Your topic was so creative. Who would have thought of writing a song about sleep? I like your choice of words. I also admire the way you put your words together. But I do not know how the rhythm goes. It was confusing to read it.
I do have a question for you. Are you an expert on lyrics and poems? Now, why would I ask that? I have written a poem titled "Kingdom Beyond the Mountains" and it needs some work. Please look at it and comment. Please give me some advice on poetry if you look at my poem. I would really appreciate that.
Hey! Good job on your song.
Good luck and keep writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very truly yours,
