Awakening
I took for granted
Always waking up next to
Your side of the bed
Category Archives: Sleep
Summer
Draped on an elm bough
Branches dapple the sunlight
That warms up my cat
Pullman
Rolling through the night
The rhythm of the train tracks
Rocking us to sleep
Wisp
Dusk in the forest
Eerie tendrils of blue light
Draw me in deeper
Napping
A lazy Sunday
You, dozing on the white couch
Lovely as ever
Waves
Ripples of dreams lap
Against the shores of the night
Lulling me to sleep
Contentment
In our bed, half asleep
The years of comfort found in
The space between us
Snooze
Fighting wakefulness
I can get a week’s sleep in
Just five more minutes
Morning
Your disheveled clothes
Strewn at the foot of our bed
Are all I have left
Dream
Bolt upright, sweating
The blood pounding in my ears
As the dream fades out
