i will be sleeping for the rest of my life

meditative moth   ~:-)

when she is not dreaming, she focuses on her loss...? but how does this bring her peace (the 5th), or is this reference to the dream state?

could the last stanza be one line: peace, lullabye state

can be whatever you want it to be
and mean whatever you want it to mean.
yEs, when she dreams ~ she does not focus on her loss- that is the point.

the dreams happen in the 5th stage of your subconsious mind-
so what i meant to convey was no hocus pocus- no sleeping
pills, drugs etc etc. but a natural plane in one's own mind, thus
you can do anything, dream anything, be anything.
i am partial to the ending, sorry love- you can think it in your own
sleeping mind!!!!

As for me- i am going to have a cucumber sandwich and hot tea before
the sandman comes to tuck me in!!!! NIght night.

Hmm, cucumber sandwich and hot tea? Are you in the U.K.?

I like the poem. The only part I was not too fond of was the (?). The thought seems less forceful with that there.

Yes, you are right, i will remove the ?
 
Thanks- and ya cucumber sand/with hummus and roasted red peppers yum YuM! :)

That is ok rio~ I see the cycle back now, dream     not dream      dream
