Peaceful Sleep Poem by Lisa Cresswell Wilkinson

Peaceful Sleep

Rating: 5.0


In this big room people stir
Soundly sleeping one by one
For this moment all is gone

One moment at least feel peace when asleep
Down one little pill and your drifting down deep

Close your eyes and let it go
Drift away nice and slow
The fear inside you disappears
when youre asleep no-one hears
Not even you

No painful movie scenes
No scary magazines
No torture no re-living
The pain you have been given

Calm peaceful sleep is all I pray
Please help me somehow find away
Morning breaks, birds flutter and sing
What will this day promise to bring
I hope to go home and get back on track
And recover this traumatic hidden attack

Lisa, this is a beautiful peaceful poem, but a sad one for what it hints at but doesn't say. Top Marks from me. Thanks for sharing it my friend. David

Lisa, you convey quite nicely the easy feeling of a good night's rest... for some of us it's like winning the lottery, if we could all be so lucky. Good write! Brian
