Sleep is a far off dream

I saw her sunset

But was left in the wake

Of her sunrise

Struggling to breathe

I caught my breath

And slowly awakened

Steady now

I I'm Steady now

Steady breaths

... There

Wait, no

It went away again

But I thought I felt a wisp

A whisper of a shadow

Under my eye

Telling me the story

Of a short night slumber
