  "I wonder what happens when i'm awake? do i join in the thrill of the worlds motions or do i just beleive that i am but in actual fact am as still as the world was when i was asleep. it is when my eyes take those first blinks that i feel lost, but before that i'm happy the world doesnt stop when i'm asleep hahahaha."

Dr. Les Moore on »While You Slept« by Les Marcott:
"Someone special to me once told me a long time ago that the spotlight of heaven shines on all of us, just not at the same time. You reminded me of that message from a long time ago. Your words send a chill through my body, like when touched by an angle. Keep on keeping on."

Michelle on »While You Slept« by Les Marcott:
"As I slept..the sun shone on the other side of the world, somewhere a father told his daughter he loved her, a mother hugged her daughter, a phone rang at just the precise moment to end a loney night and end a desperate though.... ..your poem made me think...and choose how I wished to view the world, not with blind eyes, but with hope! ... Before I slept, I said a simple prayer, and as I slept somewhere something good happened because of it. Keep writing Les, you make people think and thinking brings about change."
