Some poems come as a whole, others come in sections. This one came from three words, and then grew a little at a time.
I write a lot of poems about sleep, I think because my dreams tend to be quite something!
Isn’t it dreamy when your night goes smoothly?

Where quiet
meets still
comes sleep

Inside the quiet
still space of
sleep springs dreams
*
When unquiet minds rest
between pillows and stillness
sleeping comes but slowly
