James Campbell - Slumber

A drowsy droop of the eyes, <br />Until they remain closed, <br />Still awake, <br />Thoughts slip from focus, <br />Breathing slows, <br />Drifting in and out, <br />Like the tide as it creeps up the shore, <br />Gently letting go of awareness, <br />Like sand slipping through fingers, <br />Until, <br />Silently, <br />Softly, <br />Sinking, <br />From the shallows, <br />Into deep, <br />Sleep.<br /><br />James Campbell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slumber-19/
