Sleep is an explorer of anxious pathways
where corridors of hidden thoughts
collide recklessly at untested crossroads
releasing pathways without fences.
Sleep is the invisible black
where eyes and fingers twitch
as the visual curtains of life rise
and then fall.
There are mumblings of half sentences,
warnings, forgotten names and prayers
for forgiveness.
Sleep is the space between the
breaths of night.
