Only a Dream

I lay awake in the
Softening folds of a desert
Night
With the fragrance of a hot day
Blowing through me

I pray silently
For sleeps comatose
Comfort of emptiness

Such things are not be had
For you are there
In my dreams
Waiting to show me
A life unknown

I struggle and fight
To stay awake
Because
I don’t want it

To be

Only a

Dream
