~

drifting ,

floating,

on the endless

waves

of slumber.

images

flash,

sounds

echo.

touches flit across skin,

light,

hesitant.

emotions jumble,

thoughts vanish,

the mind sleeps.

until,

yanked upward

rising quickly

fighting the

heaviness

of consciousness,

you are pulled unwillingly

into

the blinding light,

the shearing sounds

of cold reality.
