Restlessly, I woke In the middle of the night One Day Moonbeam shinning Filtering through an open window Blessing the darkness within Nutralizing the shadows That lingered without sin. It was a beautiful night Warm, silent, still All around Within I can sense a man Sitting on a chair, next to my bed. Even though I am unable to see him I could tell he was gentle Big, no hair, bold that is White beard, mustache Just sitting there Staring at me, going nowhere. Haven't seen, his lips move Yet I knew, he was talking to me Or was he thinking out loud? Said he remembered this night. Sixty-two years ago I had a dream, he said Saw myself old, in a dark room Sitting on a chair. Didn't want to make any noise Near the crib, I sat Listening to my first born Sleeping restlessly. The fullmoon's, silvery beams Shone through, the window blinds Pilfering the glum from within the room. I gently took a peek At the pride of my life Unfolding The blanket to see An aging gentle of a man Restlessly, trying to sleep. By: William Bonilla 01/08/04 ��

All of life is a circle, William. Your poem tells this in an eerie kind of way. This is excellent writing.
Take care,

This is wonderful, William and at the same time a haunting
of the similarity from child to man to like child again.
Superb poem!
