Frozen

Had another one of those moments last night...

As I tumbled and rolled in out of sleep...

She didn't come to me in a dream...

But in my mind she was still here...

In those seconds between conscious and unconscious thought...

Nothing had changed...

For a mere instant I felt complete...comforted...warm...

But time moves quickly...

Reality surfaces...

And warmth is short lived as certainty settles in...

And I'm left staring at the clock...

Frozen...

As I face my existence...
