Shhh....She sleeps,
   A slumber blest.
Away from demons,
And thoughtlessness.

Her tears are done,
   For now atleast.
She knows her fate,
Sleep's sweet release.

For there in sleep,
    In dreams she soars.
On wings of love,
And passions stores.

But yet she wakes,
     just as she must.
To find in day,
A place to trust.

And still she seeks,
    She hopes to find.
That place where dwells,
Her peace of mind.

Where loss does come,
    No more to rest.
Upon the shoulders,
Of the blest.

The place where hope,
    No longer lies.
A place found deep,
Within his eyes.

Beautiful Marilyn!!  

Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive,
my body goes on, my spirit has died,
and I though alive, feel dead inside.

Marilyn, this is a beautiful piece. You describe the sweet peace of sleep well. I have to *bump* this one up!
