Blinded by the dark
Stark reality unveiled
Each morning, I lose the light as I blink away the night
Comfort torn from flailing hands
Clinging desperately to serenity in sleep
There, in sweet slumber, is where I am met with light
Overflowing possibilities and never-ending flight
In my dreams, I see a thousand faces
Unburdened by reality, cloaked in ethereal shields of gold
Here, in sweet slumber, we are safe
With the dawn of sunrise and showers of light sweep the Earth
I am plunged once again into darkness
To stand my ground against the harsh truth of life
To count down the clock to unconsciousness, whichever form it takes
And the gifted serenity in sleep.

and so say all of us.... a lovely poem Clara and needing far more attention.... Neville
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Ah - I love this piece...The serenity of sleep is so well expressed here in your honest poem dear Clara - - keep standing your ground and writing it down dear poet-friend.
Hi Fay,
Thank you very much for your kind words. I really do appreciate it. It's certainly encouraging 🙂
Sleep and dreaming has always intrigued me, I believe its where we learn the most about ourselves!
Your poem re-iterated this to me, the waking world has too many distractions and problems to allow us to delve into our own souls and I believe this is why us lot in here write! It provides something personal, therapeutic and beautiful for our souls 🙂 cracking poem!
Well I am a big fan of sleep. Afternoon naps are on another scale! Just being cosy and safe. There's something about the body being able to shut down in that way and heal that speaks volumes. Thank you for reading and commenting. Appreciated.

Lovely poem. I could feel the sweet serenity of lights fusing with unconscious thoughts before our senses give up and rest.
Hi, thank you for reading and commenting. Much appreciated. I'm pleased you were able to visualise/sense that!
Well written, Clara. Love that last line!
Thank you kindly!
That peace and light in sleep is so calming. Good write.
Thank you as always.
So, I really appreciate it. (I do hope you know what I mean by that hehe)
Absolutely this is why you should laugh when people say you are day dreaming of sleep walking, it's the only way to truly live in the moment of Serenity.
Thank you for the words you created with me 😉
