A Letter to my Soul…

A Letter to my Soul…

My dearest Soul,

Where do you go? When I finally find sleep…

I close my eyes and slip away too tired to weep longer for today.
My fear is to wake…
Again… I pray morning stays away…
The early morning mist carries the smell of the dying…
The cutting of fresh onions for the hungry…
I felt the warmness on my face… it frames a single tear…
That one drop of rain, for the homeless… one drop too many…

So I lay on my bed and can’t find sleep… I turn… I turn… I TURN!
I turn flat on my back to catch my breath… I listen…
I breathe in the nothingness!

I know as soon as I sleep…
YOU ERUPT FROM THIS BODY!
STRAIGHT TROUGH THESE WALLS!

RIGHT PAST THESE RIBS!…

OUT… OF THIS CAGE!

Where do you go?
When I finally find sleep…
And… How is FREEDOM?
