Free Falling

I will not sleep.
No more, no more
I close my eyes
and as before,
I’m walking on
the highest ledge
and as I look
beyond the edge
there’s naught to see.
It’s too far down.
I reach the corner,
step around.
There is no railing,
nothing there.
I slip, free falling
through the air.
Past never ending
dreams I go.
I sail the darkness,
no below.
I wake with promise
as before.
I will not sleep.
No more. No more.
