Nothing To Fear

Don't we all die every night?

Isn't that place we go when sleeping

the same place we go in death?

We close our eyes

and lose all control

and our mind reviews our lives

giving us the power for lucid change

if we care to harness it.

When we sleep

those who have passed over

appear

going about chores

serving meals at family gatherings

young, healthy, as they were in photo albums

loved pets rub against us

and we can fly.

Death comes to us

in bits and pieces

every night

showing us

there is nothing to fear.
