    Poem Commentary

    sort of a day dream i have a lot........ :)

    As I Watch You Sleep

    Curled up on the car seat, the landscape flashing by,

    I watch you sleep beside me, laying against my legs.

    So sweet your face is now, peaceful,

    devoid of stress or sadness. . . .

    I watch you sleep.

     

    Your slow deep breathing is a song,

    a small smile on my lips.

    Your eyelids shut, concealing your brown eyes,

    though I do not long gazing into them.

    Your warmth is soft and precious on my thighs,

    and I sigh; so sweet your slumber is. . . . .

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
