Having light sleep is bad sleep
A dragon’s never asleep
Always watching for some thieves
Makes them cranky I believe
***
Sommeil léger est mauvais sommeil
Les dragons ne dorment jamais, ils veillent,
Être toujours à l’affut de voleurs,
Les rends grognon pour leur malheur
Sleep tight, tonight, the Guardian’s watching over you
Dream far and wide, venture the realms of the unknown
You’re safe, you’re warm, the Guardian is protecting you
Embrace, hold tight, once you’re awake it will be gone
***
Dors bien ce soir, le Gardien veille sur ton sommeil
Rêve loin, rêve large, explore les contrées oniriques
Ne crains rien, au chaud, le Gardien t’enlace et veille
Puis à ton réveil, il disparait, c’est magique
– Oh uncle. I’m so glad to see you!
– ‘evening son
– I must ask you for help. Would you kindly listen to me?
– Sure, son!
– I kept dreaming of a titanic figure, truly a god. Each night, over and over. At first it was blurred and vague. And now it is clearer and clearer each night. Last was the worst! it saw me! And then it made a gesture.
– Oh my! That is quite terrifying.
– I’m scared. What can I do? I’m afraid to fell asleep again.
– But you are dreaming dear.
– oh…
– like, right now. Remember, son: I died three years ago.
– no…nononoNONONONONOWGAWD!
