Paragraph to paragraph
Reading away from myself.
Drifting from what is needed
Swallowed into a useless realm.
"Mind, get me through the day, will you?
I promise to entertain your earthly bliss."
Yet the more I resist,
A thought surfaces—
How foolish of me
To not think time a luxury!
So, I pick up my pen,
Bury my nose into the depths of the books
Find my little dream resting on its pages—
Waiting to be read, to be true.

set me adrift
here and beyond
wait--
inevitable epilogue
the story is told
and silence, shared.
the night dissolves
dreams, aware.
twinkling galaxies,
damp pillows.
empty--
bed and soul.
