Member Poem

Just as sleep bested my eyes -
  There came a looming presence -
Strange and full of mysteries -
  That alit upon my rest.

There wasn't a familiar word
  Sufficient for such trespass
So silence was the measure
  For my unexpected guest.

Time was also dissolved;
  Every thought - every breath
Was confounded by a love
  I scarcely struggled against

But the hour was growing late
  So He flew off to find a heart
More predisposed and awake
  And gave me over to the dark.
