My 15 hour vacation from the world.....

As I fall into the slumber of comfortable sleep

the sun starts to kiss my face like a forgotten lover

I groan and snuggle towards the warmth like a baby to a mother.

My body gives in to the comfort of the night

I surrender completely forgetting the day

and what tomorrow may bring.

A soft breeze caresses my face as I fight to stay awake

worried I may miss something

and am lulled into a zone of complete nothingness.

I forget the day, the week, the month

I must be smiling as my eyes are closed

happiness surrounds me.

Like a mothers love

whispers of encouragement surround me

saying tomorrow is a new day.

 I smile and open my eyes

as I look around my room, I am home

For 15 hours I was in paradise.
