Are You Asleep?

I spend my time, 

When you are gone, 

Just listening, 

To a favourite song, 

Or gazing somewhere, 

Up above, 

Or write a sonnet, 

Words of love, 

They tumble, tortured, 

From the sky, 

I’m feeling low, 

And feeling high, 

Distracted, 

That’s the way to be, 

I watch a movie, 

On the telly, 

I catch the news, 

On bbc1, 

Storm and tempest, 

Strike again, 

So difficult, 

To contemplate, 

They’re queuing up, 

At Heaven’s Gate, 

I sit a while, 

Commiserate, 

And say a prayer, 

It’s getting late, 

And thankful now, 

For you and me, 

Discard the scene, 

That’s on the telly

And in the quiet, 

Time to weep, 

Where are you now? 

Are you asleep?

Beautifully done piece! It is enchanting, has delicious imagery and flows smooth as a babbling brook. It is a delightful piece
