Night light shinning in the darkness

Providing a glimpse of clarity in the confusion of night

Time distracted in the disorientation of sleep

Sleep eyes open just enough to see the blur of comfort

Quickly fading like a shooting star

As you fall back into the dark blanket of night

Bewildered, tracing dreams to reality

Mixing reality with dreams

Not knowing what is real and what is a trick of the mind

The night line shines with comfort

A crack of light from the door left open

As a gateway back into reality from the obscurity of sleep.
