In deep sleep, I is not.
In deep sleep, fear is not.
In deep sleep, silence is.
In deep sleep, quietness is.
In dream sleep, I arises.
In dream sleep, fear arises.
In dream sleep, silence leaves.
In dream sleep, quietness leaves.
In waking, I arises.
In waking, fear arises.
In waking, silence leaves.
In waking, quietness leaves.
I is.
Fear is.
I is not.
Fear is not.

thank you, ellis, to give an homage to weakness. we so often want to be strong, that we forget to be weak.

Interesting Experience
Nightmares are not deep sleep,
But bring me fear
Then when I wake weak
Peace is more near
