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...
