In The Time Before Sleep

by Jacqueline G. D'Amato/Saggitarius - Not entered

In the time before sleep, when dreams become real
falling into a daze, but holding to consciousness
we imagine ourselves into that world
that holds our hopes and fears, that awaits our drooping eyes
as the sandman enters to aid us in drifting away 
towards fantasies and nightmares, 
falling forever into emptiness, but feeling comforted by it,
we struggle meekly for awakening, 
while the body escorts us towards the edge of thoughts.

Reason for writing:

    i wrote this poem because i had considered this as a title for another poem, but it didn't seemed appropriate. it gave rise to an idea and i simply wrote it on a whim.
