Into Nothingness

At last this long day is done
In the dark I turn inward
Trying to forget
Drifting into nothingness
In deep sleep, no memories

I can relate to this, Barbara. A good deep sleep can work wonders, but I find that I don't sleep well if I stay up too late! ~ Regards // paul

Ah the sweet escape of a good night's rest. You did a great job with this, and it is nicely written...I always struggle with these short forms. -G

Sleep is heavenly to me when I don't wake screaming. I also go within to capture peace. Beautiful BG! ; )
