We all need our little bit of paradise and escape from the mundane world - nice to have somewhere to return to, just to replenish.  We all have these places just behind our eyes.

This is gorgeous Zed, could just imagine you watching Charli as she sleeps...... the easy sleep of a child is something truly wonderful, and you have captured that here very well.

: )lb

So true, Emma, I have always been a dreamer in that way, but it has been a saviour in those hectic times to just lie back, close eyes...and go....and no queues nor surcharges, lol, Zy

I hadn't thought of this in that way, lb, but yes, when she sleeps in The Hotel (downstairs when Mummy is out, lol) I do frequently enjoy just looking for a time at the treasure before me, wondering if she is dreaming when she moves and about what.

 

This was originally written in the 1st person and it didn't work, so I started again and it flowed better like this, glad you like it, lb, thanks, Zed 

 

 

A lovely poem Zy and you're right this does flow better as a 3rd person poem, and I can relate this to my poem "does she know why she crys?" A lovely poem Zy :) x

Thanks Toni, yes, there may be over 40 years difference, but I have noticed the similarities...as I relate to some of yours, Zy x
