where creative minds can interact
Wiffledust Creative Writing Challenge: Sleep Is...
Sleep is...
all mine. It's when I stop. Breathe.
Say no to the bad and yes to the good.
What I say goes.
Sleep is when I feel the comfort of the duvet on my bare skin
as the comfort of the universe
scooping me into a maternal hug.
It's when the slowed rhythm of my slumber
synchronizes with the innate purr of my furry friends.
It's when I lay open with my love and he with me,
aligning our forces to face the coming day.
Sleep is life laid bare. The reset button.
The second chance.

Thanks Lisa! I just wrote it. I saw your challenge this morning after I came out of a meeting at work, and just wrote it all out straight away. I feel like an expert on this subject, as sleep is one of my favourite pasttimes ;)
