Eminently most nights
you enter my dreams
falling languidly
within each
moving ethereal scene

The first light of morning
feels cold and unwelcoming
an imposing enemy
waiting for me to rouse
staring blankly
carrying me away
from my most precious clouds

Sleep and the peaceful state
of 'just being'
has become my most
sought after friend indeed
upon awakening
I recall with wonder
who is luckier?
you or me?
In the tranquil dim light
stillness befalls my worried mind
the many irrational thoughts
escape and fluently drift away

Through a placid expanse of-nothingness
each our hour runs together
no clocks herald a unified chime

Peacefully now detached
from this unfamiliar shell
what do you wish for?
a dedication to love?
an oral drug?

Would it suffice and please
to hear the word cried out
in a dramatic exclamation
or thespian tone?

Do you want to feel it in your center?
being guided within an untouched
organic world
not your own

No confusion, lust, or shallow trust
but rather something dormant
lying within before your birth

Growing as a child
ragged with green knees
from climbing trees

A misty eyed girl, clapping as the room
darkens to sing the birthday tune

Timeless
resplendent memories.
Somewhere in a peaceful dream
thoughts elapse in passing
quietly awakening
nudging softly
adhering to the new morning

Before the hatching sun
or the birth of dawn
flows through everything
in unison

Virtuous wishes lightly come
heavenly from above
woven through barren space
with love

Each one more beautiful
than the last
brightening the day
before it has yet
been cast.
