Sleep

I'm surrounded by darkness trapped in thought, Not a single sound but the beat of my heart, My mind starts to wonder where could I be, How is it so dark that I can not see, Why can't I get up and run away, My legs don't work but I'm in no pain, I start to scream and cry for help, But no one comes I'm all by myself, I must be dead is all I can think, And all of a sudden my eyes start to blink, The whole time I was afraid for my life, I was asleep in my bed in the middle of night. ~DM2~

Thanks once again. P.s. its for Daniel Martinez II (I'm sure it's not hard to figure out)

Perhaps a wish to be afraid in the unconscious mind with a view to securing support from some dear and near one ... whatever, I enjoyed reading it ...

Lovely rhyming piece, Daniel - quite far from my "blissful" perception of the land of slumber...

Thank you Michael, glad you enjoyed it. Sleep can be a tricky thing some times good some times scary but always needed.
