hypnagogia

That first moment Finally completely alone The weight on my body Silent freedom so long awaited Dawn until dusk Cool crisp sage Agonising relaxation Where hurt dissipates and I'm me again For just a moment before I drift away to the place I know i'm safe The place where nothing is as it seems just as I have seen it Futile efforts to resist My return journey to daylight To the mask I wear at sunrise I wait, once more to be back there Dawn till dusk
