sleep without fear

the light is very dim

the room is barely visible

shadows fill the walls

i sit in awe, but not in fear



shadows move in unison

not one to venture alone

at times it is difficult

to see where they appear



it is time now for me

to bed i go to sleep

the room's no longer visible

the shadows i know are near



the light is very dim

my eyes are closed for the night

shadows appear beneath my lids

i sleep in awe, but not in fear

A rather ominous feeling pervades this poem, linda...
something that i may have felt when i lie on my bed, sleepless and with wild ideas tumbling inside my head.
We Chinese have this saying: Sleep without fear when you are clean with conscience, sleep with fear when you can imagine even a startling knock on the door.

hope u felt better after writing this revealing poem.
