A Small Girl Sleeping At Night

a romantic poem

As yet you know little of love

Your breath as soft as a night tide

Your eyes half closed like dark olives

Your face at rest as a warm breeze

Let us for now be at peace

Like two stars forever at distance

But always one in measured sleep

Gosh Leslie, You do know how to produce deep and profound work build upon simple observations and you make them come alive in your intelegent use of language, metaphors and images!
