The Moon Knew We Were Through
Breakup Nonet
Sleep comes for those who have found their peace
And waits beneath the dreaming tree
Visions of me with the moon
Together me and you
Wide awake dreaming
Romance, scheming
Sleep denied
Deprived
Peace

Micheal Jackson "A bedtime story"
🌟 “Michael and the Moonlit Melody Michael. Michael wasn’t just any boy—he had a gift A bedtime story Once upon a soft, starry night, in a cozy little town where music floated through the air like fireflies, there lived a boy named Michael. Michael wasn’t just any boy—he had a gift hidden inside him, a gentle glow that only came out when the world grew quiet.

Yes, sleep only comes to me when it wants, but when it does, I am at peace. I love this wonderfully written poem, and I particularly love how you have described how sleep makes you feel.
Love the imagery!
I love this one. You captured something really beautiful from the title to the picture to the words. Great poem!
Oooo, this was so poignantly beautiful!
Agree with Cathy. This is lovely, mysterious and cozy. The pic is awesome too!
Beautiful...from the title to the tone! 🌙
Oh, this is lovely. I also love the pic. Well done.
Beautiful poem
Love the image for this could lead to a book for children's stories and poems.
