A Good Night’s Sleep

Last night my eyes filled with tears and my heart swelled within me, until I thought it would burst, from the confused emotions that were running through my body. Sleep came after all the tears were emptied out and sweet dreams of happier times engulfed me. What seemed like a lifetime later, dawn was starting to break through the clouds like a queen taking her throne. I awoke to find what had been problems and burdens the night before, now only seemed like an undercoat on a canvas. A basis for the colorful picture my life would someday become.
