Sleep; restful sleep that is disrupted  by a disorientating and somewhat disturbing dream. Only partially inspired by the poem "Intimations of Immortality" by William Wordsworth but the composition title does come from a line in the poem.
I would recommend this poem. To me I find it very moving. At the start of the poem the poet regrets the passing of a time (as a young child) when everything in nature seemed "as if apparelled in celestial light". Now he tries to and partially/fleetingly reclaims that feeling but anxiety and despair creep back. From my 21th. C atheist viewpoint his "intimations of immortality" seem quite forced and wishful thinking. The poem, however, is very moving and resonates with partially formed thoughts that it stimulates in the reader.

The Fields of Sleep

Big city lights, small street corner
cars that slow with red lights, the shadow that is cast
looking out for danger, that comes with every stranger
heart beating fast running from the past, praying this one is her last

small change in their pockets, small thoughts on their minds
small talk-in exchanges, small price for her pride

big city lights, a darkened doorway
away from the glow, the shadow leaves a stain
looking back in fear, now the time is here
find a vein, board that train, leave behind all of her pain

small change in their pockets, small thoughts on their minds
small talk-in exchanges, small price for her pride

there's no magic turning tricks, she longs to give up the game
all the men are different sizes, they all hurt just the same
night walkers, the street stalkers, the faceless without a name
she can hide her tracks and bruises, but can she hide her shame

small change in their pockets, small thoughts on their minds
small talk-in exchanges, small price for her pride

The main motif is a 5-beat phrase, counting the rest at the end; so it keeps turning around in 4/4 time.

LITTLE BRIGHTER

Little Brighter (REN FAYE AND DELAFLOR)

I was born in Leicester in the late 1950's. Since semi-retirement and subsequent retirement (as a Dermatologist and formerly G.P) I have spent some of my spare time trying to learn music theory. I also enjoy long distance running as well as cycling, skiing and tennis. I enjoy cooking, gardening and growing a few vegetables. And fine wine (in moderation). I enjoy insect photography, with a particular interest in hoverflies..
To my regret I never learnt a musical instrument when younger but I have listened to and been fascinated by music for as long as I can remember. The advent of the computer age has allowed me to pursue my desire to compose music. I use Logic Pro X software (and MuseScore3 for recent piano compositions). My compositions reflect my varied listening preferences (including Contemporary Classical, Jazz and  Music from other cultures around the world).
