Sleep

Once more into the breach. I close my eyes, And go to sleep. As my mind goes fallow, I leap to dream. See the drawings in between. Always a stimulus, To begin again, A poem, Another story, Or dance to glory! Sleep is a marvelous place, Brings new perspective to each thing. Lest we forget the last bit of color, Wake up! Write it down! Before another!

Love the flow and rhyme of this poem dear Kim. Very well written. The last few lines made me smile as I can relate to it, as many can, when you are desperate to write something down lest you forget! Really enjoyed this creative write. Thank you for sharing :)

So Pleased that you like this poem. I thought I was the only one feeling so driven. I find that the poems tend to follow with artwork and it is hard to keep up sometimes. Of course, in responding to this comment, just spilled a glass of water on keyboard so hopefully it will go through.
