Rules of Engaging Home
Poetry of Terry Douglas
You are invited to visit My Blog Meditations Page
for updated spiritual reflections.
Who comes knocking
at my door?
Hides beneath my bed
and more.
Steals beneath my
blankets warm,
Carresses, crawls,
tingles, swarms
Pretends to be
a friend, no fear
but only leaves
a trail of tears
What name has this
this silent thief
“Be still” he says
and you will sleep
“Be still” he whispers
to my soul
I am your breath
and that you know
You run and hide
the whole day long
Try to cover with
your song
Be still he hisses
in my ear.
Lonliness, has found
you dear
Lonliness
a simple name
changes rules
and changes games
Sleep now deep
slip away
no escape
another day
