What happens when we sleep <br />and we're not dreaming? <br />We escape from this mortal body <br />and leap into bliss; <br />leave behind all cares and sorrows, <br />just rest beyond boundless space. <br /> <br />Mind must stay behind <br />and keep its memories stored <br />for when we are recalled; <br />so none remember this <br />that every night they play <br />in pure and boundless timelessness. <br /> <br />I know you don't remember <br />I don't remember too, <br />but does not remembering <br />make it any less than true?<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-we-sleep/
