'How Can I Sleep? ' Poem by Dae Soto

'How Can I Sleep? '

Rating: 4.5


How can I sleep?
The storm is fierce
And wind
Weeping in My ear.
My beloved is lost
In a far dark wood,
But this curseful feet
No longer move.

My irresistible Mind
Never understand-
Too clever to be fooled.
Unbind me from this depression-
From this skin biting cold.
And may I not behold
Again a thing
That deceive and vanish.

Heaven,
Forgive my anger
And lift my little hope.
From dust I came
To dust I'll return.
But hush my fear
And makes my burdens
More lighter.

Very emotional piece of poetry, well articulated and nicely penned. To think of life without problems is an existential absurdity. The secret of happiness lies in discarding bad moments and embracing good ones. Taking things and situations in stride also helps. A lovely poem written from the heart. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON. ➕9
