A sleeping Girl

She makes no sound
as she lies there,
motionless,
oblivious to the world around her.

What can she be thinking?
How long will she stay?
She looks so peaceful,
lying there.

As she sleeps
to her time stops,
while the world lives on.

I long to hold her
in my warm embrace,
to comfort her from her restless mind,
from the traumers of her life
she will awake to.
