Promises of sleep

I yawn,
I nod,
I tumble into bed.
The promise of sleep
So enticing.
Yet in sleep
are dreams.
They hunt you down.
They lie.
They make promises
that cannot be kept.
Yet;
I sleep.
For dreams
are life
in another realm.
A reality
not so real?
Who is to say,
which is the dream
and which
is real?

Hey girl! I like your poem and the fact that you are bold enough to write one. I'm a gardener, too and like some other stuff that you said you liked. You have some poetry writing talent, keep writing. Best wishes.

Well, Sadie is my greatgrandmother's name. I'm just using it for the blog. But I used to identify with the Beatles song Sexy Sadie... :) My blog is at http://elchante.blogspot.com
