At Peace Only When Asleep Poem by Olumide Omoyele

At Peace Only When Asleep



The tenderness.
The complex simplicity.
The calm.
The silence.
The human beauty.
That deadly lifelessness.
The occasional shrug.
Subtle reminder of tender, slender life.
But above all
The Peacefulness.

A portrait of my
peaceful, simple humanity
when I am asleep
painted through the
eloquent canvas
of watching pretty Betty sleep.
