Dying in the Sleep

Sleep comes naturally to everyone but me,
Lately I’ve been finding that when I sleep I die,
Not just watching my funeral, not just falling and waking up before I hit,
No, dying in the dream.

It is one of the best but worse experiences,
I see the other side of life, it both has it’s ups and downs
Peace is there, yet you are alone,
Happiness is there, yet it is all black,
Serenity is there, yet there is nothing,

What is this place, one must ask,
For I do not know, it possible is the passing,
If the mind is ready for the journey then,
Entire new worlds are to be seen,
I was not ready,

One day I will be ready, Maybe tomorrow,
Maybe today, but it will know when I’m ready,
I wish to encounter a dream like this again,
When I’m ready.
