How at peace
do I feel
when I sleep
and dream about good things.
It is good, too,
to have no dreams altogether.
When I feel that I have no
thoughts gathered
to ponder upon
in my unconscious.
I feel at peace then too.
I can feel the cool breeze
blow past me,
touching my body
and giving me a sense of tranquility,
just like it are my thoughts
who come and go as they please.
Going to sleep is a task too
and if it is passed through,
controlling the hours of sleep
and dealing with the fatigue
and body ache that I feel
after waking up are other works.
I love sleep
because it is a temporary escape
from all my problems
that I am trying to avoid.
Sleep is such a relief.
At least,
during my sleep,
I don’t have to consciously deal
with my painful thoughts
and feel helpless
when I am unable to stop.
It is an escape from the environment
I am but don’t want to be in.
