Sleep

If I became, for you, as sleep,
Would you protest
My eyes, my breath, the rhythm of my heart
To own?
Or would you trust
That love
Must
Calm?

Ahhh, a meditative breath whispered on waves of REM.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

To own? . . . Must Calm?
Curious, but frankly, the contrast escapes me.

I got hooked on the "love must calm" I truly believe it to be the anchor of life.

Well done Bob!

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

I love it when your poetry makes me think.  And it does that often.  *tee hee*
