While I sleep
While I Sleep
While the Moon is among the Stars
I sleep
During the darkness in the room
A presence…heaviness upon my Chest
Chills…through-out my body
Fearful to open my eyes
Dismissed as a dream, tried to sleep
Darkness felt endless, until Moon fell Asleep…finally the light filled the room
Waking…anxiously…events of the night
Remembering…tapping on my shoulder
Weeks after Dad had passed
Concluded: The presence night before…the other part of Heart came to Visit…The only way she could
Consoling my grief
About this poem
This is a poem about an event that happened one night while i slept. I felt pressure on my chest that lasted a couple minutes. I think it was a visit from the beyond.
