In Limbo – A Quadrille

In Limbo

That longed for moment when sleep comes
Taking you from that state of limbo
where emotions are tethered
and toy with your mind

You submissively slip into slumber
allowing the heart to finally rest
Until dreams come
and you wake in a different realm

    Excellent poem. The transitions of sleep are most interesting. Going from anxious thoughts to sleep to crazy dreams!

    Lovely write. I like the sound of it – all those “s” sounds are so soft and gentle, and comforting.

    In the realm of dreams snd wonder — though sometimes both can be dark. Excellent writing Christine.
