And when, the sweet oblivion Of sleep, proves to be elusive, And from the shadows, the nights Fears penetrate the irrational Mind, I let my hand glide with Sorrow, across the silent furrows Of the bed, to gently come to rest Upon your vacant pillow. A blanket of snow has fallen, Hiding the sins of the city, From the wilderness of the Tower blocks, she rises, reborn, Reaching out with fingers of sunlight, The circle turns once more, I survive the longest night. |

Fears penetrate the irrational Mind, I let my hand glide with Sorrow, across the silent furrows Of the bed, to gently come to rest Upon your vacant pillow. I loved this part, its very visual. And poetic. Great poem ARH. |

Yes, that sweet oblivion can sometimes be elusive, ARH. I do like the direction and depth of your more recent work. Nicely done. I like the old, too. CG |
