Sleep Tight Phoebe

It's okay
It's all okay
Don't mind me
I'm just trying to feel free
I just want
To sleep
Maybe I'll try
Counting Sheep.

It's dark and
It's cold she
Won't go till she gets a hold
On my life
Forever
I can't fight
She's far 
Too clever


When i watch
The stars at night
They reflect
My fears my fright
Is it the stars?
Or is it me?
In the reflected
Windowlight

She's staring at me
Her eyes wide and bright.
Sleep Tight Phoebe
I know I won't tonight.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
