Sleepscape

You know that moment

before sleep when everything

seems to hold a

deep profound meaning.

A nightlight becomes a

symbol of your mothers love

or the speckles on your ceiling

form shapes and messages.

Every creak on the stairs

is meant for you

and your closet starts

to look really full.

Right before sleep is

when everything becomes

new and important.

But then you fall asleep

and the next morning

everything is

forgotten.
