Sleep Poem by Rini Shibu

Sleep

Rating: 5.0


The shutter is closed
and the screen is dark
The reel starts to unroll
Eye ball starts to move
At this moment movie
is played
Am there in the midst
of colorful dreams
Body is light, mind is calm
and I float in dreams
like a fairy to the land of fairies
The reel gets jammed and
Shutter opens, lights flashes
And life begins
in search of colors

Eye ball starts to move to unroll the real stars in sky. Colorful dreams float in gentle breeze. Dreams adore moment of joy. Sleeping well is good for health. This gives freshness. ..10

Beautiful poem, Rini, and you've done a very good job of capturing how a normal, restful sleep should unfold. Comparing dreaming to a movie was sheer creative genius!

Hi Rini, A lovely write on a very common incident that would have occurred in anybody's childhood. I remember how we used to sleep, though intermittently, through the Kathakali nights at Kootalmanikyam Temple Irinjalakuda- We have an eleven-day festival in the temple. During the festival, in eight or nine nights, there would be kathakali, out of this, in four nights it will be Nalacharitham in full by Kalaamandalam Major set. And our father will take all of us if possible on all the four days, to watch this. And we sleep under the gazing stars... Here and there one or two scenes we would be able to watch...., while father enjoyed everything year after year... Good old days, Rini..
