Reading the Word of God in Bed
My mind
hungry for reality
consumes the sacred words
My eyelids
heavy with meditation
fight to remain open
My mind
thirsty for the water of life
drinks long and deep
My eyelids
surrender to sleep
Reading Poetry in Bed
My mind
sated with verse
falls into a contemplative stupor
My eyelids closes
pupils focus on the interplay
of light and shadow
Words unassociated
with the odes I just read
jolt my mind awake
My eyelids open
pupils focus on the interplay
of meter and rhyme
These poems are also posted on my writing.com in the journal Writing in Snow.
