Slumber

Heavy eyes and muffled sounds,
Unaware of what's around.
As darkness comes, silence prevails,
Close thy eyes to see what entails.

Could it be a world where there is peace?
Or a realm filled with your darkest fears?
Perhaps there will be joy and unending cheers,
Or we'll be welcomed by unending tears.

Delve into the dark abyss,
Swim unto the depths of unending bliss.
Pain and terror hath no permanent place,
For all is well in the valley of dreams.

So close your eyes and you shall see,
A realm better than reality.
But be wary, heed my warn,
Stay and you shall never see the sun.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
