the sleep that never ends (apologies to dylan thomas)

i want to go gentle 
into that good night
and sleep the sleep that never ends

old age is not for battles
old age is not for rage
the years have passed 
the past is past 
the future waves goodbye   
 
i want to go gentle
into that good night 
and sleep the sleep that never ends 

don't weep for me 
don't call my name 
i am not here 
i cannot hear 
the future does not know me 

let me go gentle into that dark night 
and sleep the sleep that never ends
and dream the dreams of my old friends
