TWILIGHT OF THE MORTAL 3/3/98 rising falling sleep is calling why do i resist its siren song? within my mind, dreams await images and words love and hate try as I might I cannot shut down my mind is racing no rest to be found thoughts of the past mistakes I relive thoughts of tomorrow what it will give I go to bed with the enemy a war I can't fight for I am battling myself and no end is in sight the days have become impossibly long time turns to rubber the clocks are all wrong I move through the crowds as if lost in a daze the sun, it is shining, yet I don't feel its rays I feel like a stranger in a strange land the people are talking but I don't understand will sleep come tonight? come and finally claim me? for if it does not I fear I may soon dream eternally Rob Pierce next
