In Sleep
written by: Nada M. Sobhi
In sleep, the soul stays silent and serene
Awashed with remnants of soft memories.
In sleep
Shadows of their faces
I deeply embrace.
Their eyes are in a race
Yet little fragments of their misty existence-
To me, are the only grace-
In sleep
My eyelashes close the gate
Saving them inside my mind and heart.
my eyes, two boats sailing in peace
Visiting them in dreams
Promising to never part.
My name is Nada M. Sobhi. I grew up amidst green and rainy lands in the Sultanate of Oman, but mainly I am Egyptian. I study English literature as a major at Ain Shams University in Cairo. In my free time, I love reading and writing poetry. Also, I am a photographer as I adore nature and its details. I find solace in my solitude and poetry. I hope one day I can add something beautiful to this world even if it is my poems to be remembered. I believe simplicity is the secret of beauty, and I hope to be remembered for my simple, beautiful impacts.
