Sleeping Beauty (oh Beautiful Slumber)

Woke up, dragged myself up to set the alarm for work in the morning, wrote this, back to sleep...

Sleeping Beauty (oh Beautiful Slumber)

Woke and could not recall,
Passing out, asleep so deep.
Sweat on my forehead,
Confusion in my brain.

Do you think perhaps?
That not being able to fall,
Into a quiet slumber for so long has...
At long last caught up with me?

Sweet slumber,
Heavenly pleasures of a sound sleep.
After the torment of lying awake,
Worn to the bone,
Yet the unforgiving consciousness…
Hovers silent as a nightmare.

Oh sweet respite how I missed thee.
