Heaven Sleeps Poem by Pen Anthony

I wake up only to find myself asleep
No I'm not dreaming, or talking in my sleep
I opened my eyes to a darkness that i had never known
I touch my eyes to feel if the eyelids are apart - they are.

No it can't be so - i cry falling on my knees
Then i feel her
Cold as a morning in July
I shake her- she's still

Is she gone
Is my heaven asleep
Did she go without me?

Isn't that why we chose to depart together
Because i could no longer stand seeing her in pain
Neither could i live without her
Did i let go of her hand at the crossover
Why can't my eyes see how my heaven sleeps
