The Moon Knew We Were Through

Breakup Nonet

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

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

    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.
