In Silence You Sleep Poem by James McLain

Everyday and everywhere.
And every which way.
The main point of your life.
Speaking to me do I stand.
Using my hand,
to touch you there, where.
When where you're touched,
speaks of need.
Approached in silence you sleep.
Before you I stand looking down.
At the center of the sky it approaches.
Hardship and struggle in dreams.
Difficult world of hard times.
When you are my work in this world it is done.
Independent you sleep and silent,
You point and I stand,
right there before, where you were touched.
Approached in silence you sleep.
