Dark As it Holds.



If sleep be the case
 would  descend  in phase
with or without light
 slumber folds one  slight
 when at work or at ease
it might sound a tease
sleep is also a mystic
 when at travel or at static
sleep does  connote
 a long one in the note
 where eternity is a float
while  darkness enters
without any falter
 ensuring a conclusion
 endorsing a no return
a defence of darkness
 seems  a cry in a wilderness.
