Gentle Slumber
Now into slumber I let myself slip
Sandman pours his grains upon lids already heavy
Gentle hand taking mine, guiding me
Towards the dreamland, the dreaming time
Where reality alters....
and I can fly
***This poem, though not polished and perhaps needing some editing, was written by my son at age 7. I had finished reading Peter Pan to him just prior to bedtime, and he wrote this down. Enjoy..

| Awwww, thank you Wizard. He is currently working on another short poem and still working on the horror genre story. He also wants to write a short story on his own experiences of being autistic, how the world perceives him. He finds writing, as well as painting and drawing, to be an outlet. He says it is a way to communicate with the world. |

| Joeblend, thank you for such a kind compliment! I love your poetry very much. I had my son read this recently , and he was very surprised he could write something this good. See, he is autistic. I am hoping to share more of my sons work on here as he feels inspiration to write. |

"Where reality alters....
and I can fly"
Those are such great lines. It's so easy to get the idea in your head "well, how does reality alter?" for the brief moment between reading these lines, and then not only do you get the answer but it's an image that is far beyond our physical capabilities. Very powerful, vivid, with the right combination of imagination and contrast. |

| Thanks Matt. As I said, he was 7 at the time. I thought it quite good for such a young age. Jorbian: no, this is the only thing he ever wrote as far as poetry. He is currenlty working on a horror genre short story. |
