An Eternal Sleep
I took two breaths that felt like they were but a gentle kiss from the air itself.
I began to feel light headed, and I told my sister that I needed to sit for a bit before I continued with my chores.
I sat down, and laid my head back to rest a bit.
The darkness started to surround me, and I began to feel comfortably numb.
There I was, in the darkness of my un-natural sleep.
I didn't know that Death was there to collect me.
In the shadows I could hear her calling me, and I squinted my eyes to see her better, then she held her hand out to me.
It was my mother
She said to me in her loving voice.
" Yes it is me daughter, it's time for you
to rest."
It is time...
