TO SLEEP
.
Fading light and falling book
descending delta depths.
Reflections fall in gentle flow
on alpha’s lulling swell.
Active in society
on high upon a beta crest.

- Comment from author about the poem: For those who study beta alpha delta sleep patterns. The painting is one of a pair painted for the owner of the building - one to hang in her home the other to hang in the building which is rented out as a restaurant. Not an easy subject as the building is dominated by the other buildings either side so I had to play them down to make it more prominent. Will post the other one tomorrow.

A fine write and pic M. Yes, the two buildings on either side are played down well, with the lighter tones. I think.
Doh! I gotta study a bit of Greek now, before I know what sleep patterns I'm having. Can one dream in Greek?! You asleep now, and can't reply yet?
Up to my eyes in yoghurt - why is there a red line under yoghurt - have they run out of Hs in America - have you got any to spare Orchi?
Yes, I got the H's. Have you got the U's? e.g. color/colour.
You are the artist we like to see each morning! Enjoyed.
Ah thanks Kat - must get my pen out as I am short of works to post at the moment.
Michael,
Love the painting! The pastel colors are very pleasing to the eye!
I believe you posted this one with another poem. If I remember correctly, I think there’s a second painting you posted about the same subject!
As far as sleeping patterns, I’m glad I don’t have any issues with that...yet!
I love how you weaved the words DELTA, ALPHA, BETA into your poem!

Thanks Laura - you've got me wondering - must check to see if I've posted it before - you may well be right - the customer has just received the paintings back from the framers and they look good.
That’s awesome!
Very good write Michael. I can fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
The discussion about the painting is interesting as I believe this one or one very similar has been posted before, or was that one of a pub. No matter it is always good to see your art.
Actually I'd forgotten I had already posted it until Laura reminded me - it is called getting old. Thanks Andy.
