"There is nothing that involves only going without returning.

It is the nature of Heaven and Earth

When there is going, there also must be returning."

"To maintain the center of the circle is to respond inexhaustibly."

God Sleep

By John D.Furlow III

 

Carefully I wept in the night, quietly in my private closet.

Making note of the screaming silence that surrounded me.

So many hearts so little time here in the world.

The darkness so bleak so dismal.

Sleep leaves me and then returns again as I remember those Who eternally sleep.

With my eyes closed, I can make out the faint visions of the loved ones.

I left behind as I live on so shall they live.

From a time of youth bringing back all of my memories.

The happiness never leaves me as long as my tears are clouded with my youthful thoughts.

In an instant all is gone and I am asleep, once again.

Only to return to another place where all that is, is not.

The morning comes in as still and as silent as the night fell.

With nothing but memories and anticipation to guide me.

I feel better and with each day the tears get smaller.

Sleep, the ever present spirit filled healer, come once again and cleanse my soul and I am made whole.

Again.
