A velvet blackness soft and smooth
descending
covering all and everything
Shadows behind shadows creeping
giving only glimpses of dreams that hide
beneath my fears
Watching as velvet fades to satin
sending embers of warmth to all beneath
restoring the life that had been taken
softly in the distance someone calls your name
bringing you back gently at first
then fiercely the tug of gravity pulls
you gasp trying to catch your breath
falling, down, darkness, light, day
STOP
a dream, it was only a dream
silence once again fills the room
only your heartbeat, only your breath
only a dream
