You Looked Like You Were Sleeping

You Looked Like You Were Sleeping

As I watched you laying there so calm

I could have sworn that you were sleeping

The years of stress were no longer there

The shadow of pain had left your face

It seemed like you were napping Grandpa

Like you used to do on hot summer days

There was certainly a peace about you

I swear you looked relaxed to me Grandpa

Like a man resting after a long journey

I know that you are gone forever more

I will miss you for the rest of my life

But you looked like you were sleeping

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
