Warner Baxter Poet Rhyme

Sunsets In My Mind

the sun sets in my mind
never to arise
for darkness soothes the glaring light
that carries all the lies
and in the place where I sleep
I come alive in my dreams
never wishing to awake
stitched in threads of reality seams

so let the sun rise
steadfast and so sublime
just let me sleep so I can dream
of sunsets in my mind

Kaye Locke July 8, 2014 at 3:08 PM Oh I love this Warner. And you're right, sometimes it can feel easier to stay sleeping than face reality! Best wishes Kaye Warner Baxter July 11, 2014 at 7:57 PM Thank you Kaye, I am glad you liked it Ken Jordan July 10, 2014 at 10:17 AM Hello Kaye, I Had to respond to your comment in a graceful way. What are you running from, or running towards, if you can't face reality? I have worked on myself enough to know that we are not in control. The truth is the light that will set us free. Poet KJ
