Sleep

Poem

I like watching you sleep.

Not because it makes me happy, but because I know, that at least for now, you are free. Free from the pain and devastation of our daily lives. Free from the poverty and the disease. Free from the pride and the deceit. Free from the poison and the death. Because I know, that at least for now, you are free. Free to feel passion and determination. Free to feel peace and delight. I like watching you sleep because I can be sure, that at least for now, you are utterly free.
