Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Sleep Steals into my Chamber

            Unheralded 
              sleep steals into
                 my chamber 

             lowers its curtain before my mind
                 gently strokes my eyelids

             overtakes  
                ~ underwhelms

Bj Legros Kelley June 24, 2026 at 4:40 AM Nice. I cannot sleep, but, it has given me a bit of quiet time to be on here and read poems, which is like a dream. Very nice poem, I hope the sleepiness is contagious, I need to catch some shut eye...
