SLEEP

sleep is like death
maybe not
but it seems that way
to me

it comes slowly
or sometimes
it comes quickly
it can come hard
or it can come easy
i wonder if
the dead ones dream?

maybe they do
there might be a
universal type of consciousness
after death

i sleep more now
especially on these rainy days
i die a little more each day
we all do
when we are born
we all start dying

we wander through our lives
as if we were half-asleep
some of us never wake up
and then it is over
sleep is like death
