    Sleepers

     I walk the night
    taking in the darkness
    looking for something 
    I cannot find
    I feel the sleepers 
    all around me 
    in the buildings,
    in the earth.
    They are the one's 
    I envy---
    lost to themselves
    tucked away in
    unconsciousness
    taking in other realms
    and unknown wonders
    their dream states 
    processing the
    day's joys and 
    disappointments.
    While I am alone--- 
    just me---
    wandering, seeking
    sleep
    in the solitary night.

    Hello di47on, I hope you don't mind that i'm here again to feast mine eyes upon the beauty of your works who found their way in to my heart? Is the night not a magical time for most of us, that time wen the world is at a break awaiting the adventure of a dream? We are on our own to wonder... Wonderful poem, loved it! Greetings: Sammylin.

    We all strive to see the truth or reality but sometimes you need to rest and shut it down. Those times we envy those who go through life unaware or asleep.

    sleepers is one of the few personal poems I have written lately. I have difficulty sleeping and often write while others are sleeping.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
