The few moments before sleep

The hinting eyelids
fall prey to night's lambent subterfuge
habitually relaxed by the nightly repast
and hypnotised by crepuscular lighting.
The mind lapses into a series of anodyne memories
drowning out the constant ring of undisturbed silence
which softens and plays into a nostalgic tune so soporific
that one can no longer stand impervious to such deceptive ruse
and for the ephmeral moment before all is forgotten
the eyelids shut like doors
behind us as we enter another world for just a few hours

bloom
