Sleep
Thoughts race across my mind
Making it hard to pin them down.
Random pieces of information flow like
A stream though my subconscious
As I watch, I can see
My past flash before my eyes
Like a movie projector.
And I am unable to stop it.
Friends, old and new,
Pay me another visit.
Loved ones, long gone, appear though
The mists of times passing.
Every emotion is felt as if for the first time.
Fear, sorrow, loneliness
Hope, joy, love, happiness.
All these and more rush through my body.
And then I awake,
Everything fading away as
I crawl back into consciousness
To return again the next I sleep.
