A Sleeping Giant

Missing image



He said
her strength washed over him;

such possibilities
in her wavering reality

she tried
settling her sandcastles on shifting shores

watched sudden rage of waves
undo her, again and again



now, when she sleeps,
he comes to wet her dreams down

she is aware
of how far she fell:


A sleeping giant

    This is unlike most poems i have read. A very unique outlook on this picture and you have drawn me into the poem. Amazing job. Thank you for the entry and good luck.
