Quiescence

Escaping the world,
You lay your head.
a pillow of soft satisfaction.

As your eyes are closing,
concealing your life,
the mind in anticipation.

This world you're excluding,
overriding the grim,
a cloud, so gray and somber.

Expecting the fear
to diminish and fade
from this momentarily brief slumber.

Feeling the dreams
and glimpsing its beauty,
a fantasy you wish you were bound to.

But the body is weakening,
paralysis is near
and the nightmares begin to consume you.
