And I Go To Sleep
Lost in the lovely but intoxicating empress
Reminding me of my times with Somnus
The sunglow of my haze has me misty
Taking my bravado away from me
And I go to sleep.
I awaken with the exotic taste of moonshine
And wonder what happened to the time
My totem has drifted away from my world
Leaving me empty and barren in my curl
And I go to sleep.
Lonely albeit happy where I am left to ponder
Attempting to train myself not to wander
I take my thoughts to the sump of despair
Wondering if I should lay myself there
And I go to sleep.
Awoken by the thoughts of my own refusal to leave
As I run quickly to my silent place to grieve
For my soul that is lost without a home
Forever in a deadening and heartless roam
And I go to sleep.
Elisabeth Stover 2001
