Crystal clear skies overhead
Reveal the twinkling of thine eyes
Splendid anticipation, superlative excitement
Bubbles and raspberries, the language of one
Successes in failure, smiles in frowns
Whispered fairy tales of things to come
Poem written for my niece Anneliese CĂ©leste today
James Jul 2017
When you sleep for 12 hours
You wake like a KING
Solutions to problems
At your finger tips
Sorrow and regret, dried tears on your cheek
Evaporated and forgotten
Illness that crawled on your skin
Weak, defeated, retreated
The darkness that haunted
Cracked open to reveal the light
Senses once over exposed
Again pure, delicate, alive
Is this a dream, is this an illusion?
After the slightest of moments?
Sleepless, sleepless, sleep, sleep.
After a few months of stress and anxiety I finally had that perfect slumber

— The End —
