Sleep

By FearlessDragon

Howling wind be my lullaby
For this silence is deafening

Mother nature my guide
When my mind plays its tricks

This infinite moment
The only proof I exist
Yet, still my thoughts wander
In an aimless abyss

So anxious the future
So deadly the past
I know not the present
Time lost travels fast

Fear arises quickly
In this discontent soul
Illusion or not
I submit to its pull

What of this world?
Better yet, what of me?
Please weary spirit
Just let me sleep
