As I fall asleep

There are moments of quiet stillness
When things come into perspective
Clarity sharpens at the specific moment
Between reality and dreams
When conscious gives way to the unconscious
That quiet moment when you feel your body settle and rise
Simultaneously
Truth flutters closer
A whisper from a butterfly’s wings
No longer elusive
No longer shy
And in a spark, Truth reveals herself
Beautiful
Simple
Clean
And just as quickly, retreats
Ushering in the darkness of sleep
Of dreams that erase your memory of her
And you forget the moment
When Truth walked in
