Sleeping Water © Aya Sakaguchi
Sinking deep down into sleep from the calm surface
The body floats in the air like a boat
Deep respiration fills the sky
Flying freely towards dawn
Awakening
A momentary farewell from death
Sleep is floating, an enigmatic twisted reality
The entrance to another world
Thus our piece becomes reality and not a dream
A consummately beautiful reality
