Why Is This

I cannot recall the exact moment when I actually fall asleep... It seems it must surely be impossible. Anything is possible. This has not proven to be the case, for the most part. Nothing is possible. I fall asleep without recalling the exact moment. Sleep conception? Giving birth to sleep…? Sleep is alive. I am alive, even when I'm asleep. Dreams are vivid at times. Sleep is where we dream. I wonder why? Why must we sleep? Why is it that we are alive when we sleep? Sleep is unconscious. I have a conscious when I'm alive. I'm not dead when I sleep? Sleep is conscious. Subconscious That sounds deep. Yes, deep is a phase of sleep. Dreams mean that there's something. Something we may not ever know. You may not ever know the exact moment when you fall asleep. Why is this? -Ironic Zinc 8-26-15

Liminal Zone between sleep and wakefulness. Intermediary threshold Sleep intermission Intermittent wakefulness Threshold of perception "Barely perceptible" Subliminal Operating below the threshold of consciousness... Once in a while Websters Dictionary hits the nail on its head. I am commenting on my own poem for a noteworthy share.
