We Sleep Alone

A Lighthearted Poem

From the moment we close our eyes,

Something happens to us inside.

We start the journey into sleep.

And not all of us dream of sheep!

We enter a world that no-one can penetrate.

A world of our own, a sedentary state.

A place where our minds put the world to rights.

Anything is possible, night after night.

We sleep alone in this sense.

Go through dreams. Some so intense.

When we wake, we often feel rested,

Despite our mind having been infested.

With sorting our thoughts from the day,

In a mysterious, intense kind of way.

We do this ourselves with no external guide.

We switch off, drift off and journey inside.

I like to write from experience and with authenticity, and hope it resonates with others 😊
