Sleep Higher

Poem Commentary

This poem could be about dreams or death, either way, it is about being in places better than we find ourselves on a daily basis...wether that is life after death, or just experiencing a dream during sleep that is out of this world. Either way, may you find yourself lost in it (the poem).

Sleep Higher

No eagle has soared,
  the heights I’ve seen,
nor lofted over,
  chasms I’ve been.

As my head, my pillow meet,
  your saints, your angels greet,
off into my dreams this night,
  I will enter into your sight.

Leaping buildings,
  birch branches bended,
hearts, wounds, fences,
  all these you’ve mended.

From valley floor,
  to mountain summit,
your glory reigns,
  though stocks plummet.

This night I’ll sleep,
  if only a little higher,
ascending with Elijah,
  in a chariot of fire.

Very much enjoyed this poem as well :) I must write fifty characters... This is a GREAT poem.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
