eternal slumber

i remember

when I was 5

i had dreams of living in the city  

of night when i can't

and hear all the ruckus

that will make  me drift off into a deep slumber

or the  dream of when I would sit on a beach

as  I watch the shore

and I take a sip

to set me in

eternal slumber.

those are the dreams i had when i was 5

my head is a dark place

you wouldn't want

to stay

nor do I

but i have to stay

till I finally can go

into

eternal

slumber
