Fading away

Melting slowly

The illusionary state

The low loss of consciousness

Almost a drunken state.

Moments before the inevitable

Wanting to stay awake

But the droop of eyes

Disobedient to the mind.

Gradual shut down of body

The tiredness taking over

Taking to a dreamland

Of unspoken fantasy.

Listening but not hearing

The world around fading

A calmness washing over

Cleansing all the worries away.
