The Quiet Hours

The quiet hours tick away I am vaguely aware of them as dreams weave their way through my imagination, and the clock continues to tick-tock past two past three past four. At five I briefly come alive to flip my pillow over to the cool side... so soon are the sun's rays streaming through my blinds Did I sleep... What did I dream of

That is how I am oftentimes. I wonder if I even slept, other times the dreams are so vivid that I know for sure I slept deeply. This is a sweet poem.

I find it strange that sometimes you can't perceive if you've slept at all or not, but maybe that means you've slept. :)

There's such a sweet gentleness about it, I guess because we learn eventually to just accept... sleep? dreams? Whatever. Elizabeth
