Sleep

I want to sleep; 

I want to sleep with the thought of peace in my mind. 

Instead of the thoughts always running through my mind, 

Instead of worry I yearn for wonder. 

 

I want to sleep with the thought of curiosity; 

Like the days of the past years, 

Years I can’t go back for but I dream of when I sleep. 

 

My dreams consist of what I wish my life was. 

 

I want to go to sleep; 

But I wish to sleep forever, 

Because when I sleep I dream, and when I dream;

I finally get to live.

    i walked down the street 
    a block or so down 

  • Dear god, am I real?

    I know the mountains were not formed by him

    Instead it is the science in the world

    The reason we are here in this moment
