As He Sleeps

Sitting here in the hospital beside his bed I watch him sleep. For the longest time he would wake us when his night terrors would scare him. But as I sit here watching his eye movement his hands twitch I know he is dreaming. I find myself wondering what it is that he is dreaming of that is so intense as to cause his eyes to tear enough for me to notice from several feet away. It has passed now but I wish I knew what was stomping through his dreams causing it.
