Poem Artwork

 I read a few pages,

A chapter at the very most,

Then I do to asleep, fall,

Past the many pages, past what I’ve read do I crawl…

 

The book lies open & pages flitter on my lap,

Most times I only get a short cat nap,

But dreams do persist of what I’ve read,

Of times & experiences that others have lead…

 

Eventually though I awaken again with fervor,

My book lying next to me waiting for me to again become its observer,

Again, I read some more, and of course, do fall asleep pretty fast,

Back into the dreaming of wht this particular book has through my mind, past.

The older we get, the more likely we are to fall asleep while reading. And, we certainly do mull over in our sleep. But don't let those words get their claws in you too deep!

That's what happens to me too. I always fall asleep while reading.
