I tiptoed up <br />to the edge of her <br /> <br />sleep <br /> <br />an ocean of her <br />stretching to <br /> <br />an horizon. <br /> <br />A smile <br />like a seal <br /> <br />set upon <br />her lips. <br /> <br />A dream <br />held her <br /> <br />to itself <br /> <br />guarding the secret <br />of her <br /> <br />mystery. <br /> <br />I tiptoed away <br />from the edge of her <br /> <br />sleep <br /> <br />the little waves <br />of her <br /> <br />breaking about my feet.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-edge-of-her-a-day-after-the-day-of-your-birthday-poem/
