Sleep is mere seconds away
Eyelids heavy, arms and legs leaden
Close by sounds are distant
Distant sounds are echoes
Echoes are whispers
Whispers are shadows
Shadows of sound
Breathing is shallow
Shallow… yet deep…
Deep… and slow…
Slow…
As…
Relaxation…
Takes control…
Determined.
Effortless.
Necessary.
The Silence.
The Darkness.
The Void.
All together
Welcome.
I was half asleep when I wrote this myself, Prenin… as I am now!

Yes, it does seem to have a bit of a calming effect, Kate. It did when I wrote it last night… I was shattered!
