A Stranger Named Sleep

A stranger who cannot walk among us

Silence can breathe its name
The nights that
Remain so cold
All of the flames could
Never warm me
Going up in the smoke
Eventually heat
Rises

Naturally, like the sun
Amidst the vastly empty
Morning sky
Early am I
Darkness

Slips away
Light engulphs
Each new day
Each of us
Personally
