- When You Sleep -

When the day is over Lights are turned off Silence of the night No birds singing The moon lights up big and yellow Your eyes are closed Dark long eyelashes A hint of smile on your lips Your long brown curls on your pillow Your body rests Breathing quiet and relaxing You are so beautiful when you sleep Use my senses....listen and feel Peace and quiet of this night Like a shining jewel Love and beauty for people and nature 15.

One can feel the stillness of the night when you describe it. Yes, that is when everything is at rest. It is beautiful. Replenishing, putting back what was taken. Awesome, Anne-Lise. Have a happy May 1st too. Summer is almost here. Yeyy!

I enjoyed reading your poem... You ask about my troll poems... They are meant to be big, funny, silly, bumbling creatures that mean well but just don't think like we do. Poor misunderstood souls. Have a good week end.
