Sleep had long been my friend

There was no start and no end

Just endless nothingness an abyss

It was just me there was nothing else

Until one day suddenly

There was a light before me

I had never experienced this before

At first I tried to no avail to just ignore

Each day it grew warming me

Days after that I found myself smiling!

Then I start seeing others pass me by

All these years I thought it was just me myself and I

Then that fateful day came when everything changed

My world, beliefs, even the abyss was all rearranged

A beautiful woman simply gave me a hug

Took me by the hand and suddenly I was unplugged

Since I’ve had my awakening remember it all

The selfishness, the greed and my downfall

Yet the entire time she was there

Keeping me safe with prayer

I don’t deserve this incredible gift

So I’ll spend forever showing her how I appreciate it
