I really liked this poem!
It had great imagery and comparisons, it flowed kind of like a story, and it was dreamy.(:
I'm not sure if it supposed to be taken literal, but even if it isn't, I guess I interpreted it in a way that really appealed to me. The bed reminded me of a safe place or a "shell" to hide in, and sleepwalking reminded me of doing what you feel and want to do.
When it says "raise their arms and welcome the darkness" and "we learn to trust our hearts like that" I thought it was like taking a risk and being open to the unknown when pursuing what you want. Also, when it says, "they always wake up as themselves again" I thought that was cool because it seemed like if you do what you want you'll always be the same person you always were.
The poem is 27 lines and each stanza has 3 lines each. There is no rhyme scheme, but each line has around the same number of words.
This was a fun poem to read.(:
Glad you like it! Some interesting observations.
