“Sleep”

I find solace in sleep.
When I shut my eyes, there is peace.
There is serenity.
We deliver ourselves to death for a while,
and resurrect from this madness.
We let go.
We leave this world to be cleansed
of the impurities that wear us out.
Let it tame our hearts,
and heal our wounds.
Let it save ourselves form lunacy and anguish.
It puts an end to a day’s story,
suspending us in deep space,
and murky dreams.
This moment I value most,
oh precious slumber,
to which I succumb,
to escape this continuum.
