Of all the dreams I have when I’m awake,
The best are about finding sleep.
I’ll yearn not for currency and wealth,
Sustenance and supplement,
acceptance and embrace,
death and dying,
Futures and frivolities,
power and politics,
gods and deities,
Passion and pain,
Fear and failure,
happiness,
catharsis,
coitus,
or when I will rest.
I will be the bliss in the gap between alertness and nightmare.
I will be the unsullied, and vacant, unconsciousness.
I will be the calm in the raging ocean of anguish.
I will be asleep.
