the epiphany at midnight
when the concealing darkness slips over all that breathes
the silence sets in, only the house dares to bare the slightest croak
as the subconscious sweeps throughout the body
drifting through the bloodstreams, bathing in every vessel
like the strike of a match in a blackened cave
or the fireflies trail against the night sky
it emerges behind those closed deep blue eyes
struggling against the compelling intoxication of the sleep
a lip quivers, heavy eyelids flutter, a hand lifts
but suddenly
like the last leaf of autumn
the mind falls
falls so far
was this the beginning of a nightmare
or the base of a fairytale dream
the never ending battle shall go on
