you should get to preview dreams
like a teaser in your mind
before the darkness sets in
i lay awake
mind racing
desperately trying to grasp onto a strand of thought
amongst the millions of beams shining behind closed eyes
the words ebb and flow
the restless shore of consciousness
jumbled and tumbled and cast away
these are the sleepless hours
the hours of pure abandon and selfless truth
we blink
we wish
we wait for night's quilt to wrap us up in her arms
and softly purr a lullaby
as we slip into oblivion
