Have you ever awaken in the middle of the night...


Reflection

In the middle of the night
I woke up in a sweat,
I peeped through the window
a secret I kept...

Drops of H2O
combined with NaCl,
I tried to close my eyes
but to no avail...

Curved lines and some straight
maps of age...
I looked through the window,
A smile I engaged...

Sweet thoughts of tomorrow
Sorrow times of yesterday,
I saw through the window
His image I pray...

We were created from His image
In the Scriptures it is written,
I saw through the window
His Grace never forbidden...

Finally, asleep I fell
with a secret to tell,
for when the morning came
I laughed by my bed...
for what I was seeing through,
was not a window,
but a mirror instead!

chasingtheday The PoetBay support member heart!
it might help educating us who do not know what NaCI is in the notes, not all of us took chemistry or were any good at it lol again with the elipses here, the first verse simply doesn't need them, a full stop would be much better. same in the other times you have used them.

they are used in proper context to show a continuation of a thought, ok maybe in the first one used but definately not in the other places.

maps of age... - maps of age? what is the suggestion of thought here? it is unclear, a full stop would be better. and i know you think im etc what you said to me but this in my eyes is constructive crit. trying to show you you are using things wrong.

i know not everyone cares, but it bugs me seeing so many use these as if it is a cool thing - a fad if you like. it just puts me off reading!

sorry lol as i have said to you, i am not being overly critical to appear mean to anyone, it is just my way. please do not take offense.
