I Have Gone To Sleep Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

I have gone to sleep
Unaware of the things around,
My face bears no expression
The body is quiet like a stone.

I am not dreaming anymore,
No further height I want to scale.
The anxieties to win all the games,
The fear of losing what I had
Have vanished into the air
All of a sudden!

Day or night, hot or cold
Good or bad, pain or pleasure
Have become one and the same
Losing the meanings they had to me.

I will not again rise up
To compete with you or argue
And to smile or cry.
As the time shall pass from now
The ideas about me will fade,
I will lapse to your distant memory.

What is this sleep!
Which I fail to know?
Even with the loudest of sounds
Known to the senses on earth
I can’t wake up for a while
To say thank you to all!
