When Night Falls Poem by Erika Wingo

When Night Falls



Unable to shut off
The scenes from the day
Or turn down the volume
Of the world
A dream I can't awake from
A life I can't escape from
In a night that lasts forever
And is filled with empty rest
Yearning for sleep
To overwhelm me
Overlap and overcome me
Aching for the Serenity,
The Quiet and the Still
