slowly drifting
silently sinking
gradually calming
million cells shouting
–
welcoming blackness
embracing blankness
letting mind rest
leaving world’s mess

In response to Writing 101:
Day 3: Sleep by Rohit Pandey
Sleep: a world where our thoughts rule.
A place where reality is overshadowed by dreams.
A time when we transport our soul from the real world to the virtual.
For some, the hours we spend asleep, alone and in peace, are the best of the entire day; for others, whether haunted by nightmares or unable to fall asleep in the first place, not so much.
It’s time to think deeply about sleep. Dive into the pool of night and let whatever it is you find there take poetic form.
P.S.
Hey @rohitofficial!
This prompt calmed me! Yay!
Thank you!

Exactly! Haha. But that’s impossible! Unless we become so rich that we have nothing to do but sleep and eat and read and write whenever we want! 😀
