Out beyond the moonless, starless place
in solitude and glorious bliss
You were there while
I was sleeping
Astride a beam of light
that pierced the beyond
with a brilliant , fearless invasion
You were coming while
I was sleeping
Walked with the wind
Spoke to the rain
Commanded darkness
Brought peace to the earth
You were Divine while
I was sleeping
But
In the middle of a lonely, black night
forsaken and forlorn
You were grieving while
I was sleeping
Bruised
Pierced
Chastised
And died, yet
You were only sleeping while
I was sleeping
Like a thief through my window
to steal my heart away
You tip-toed to my soul while
I was sleeping
With the gaze of a Prince
And one sweet kiss
You awakened me while
I was sleeping
I Was Sleeping©

this may be one of the finest poetic pieces I have ever read. I think of artists on the scale of Amy Carmichael when i read this.

Don’t feel the doodle honors the poem but the poem touched the artist that had been sleeping…thank you for posting your words with my simplicity.
