Sleep overwhelms
Fast, certain, sure
Night becomes me
I become the night
The body floating
Mind drifting
Loosing touch
Then a different place
Real as daytime
Yet magical, strange, bizarre
The dream state
Perfect earthly place
I try to pin I down
Sea or space
Locked in or free
The eerie world I visit
Soon it’s over
Hours to seconds
Back to this hellish now
Just sixteen hours to go
