Dreaming.

Gentle vibrations is all it takes to wake, My muse who has fallen asleep again. Have all the time you need to take But please hurry, we should begin. So, the pleasant child, all bleary eyed Did wipe the sleep from off his face. And with but a tiny sigh he did slide Off his bed and to his natural place. Then he cleared his throat and said, "Tonight's the night we write anew All the lover's quarrels in your head; No more pity for poor little you." Taken back, I grasped at my heart, Did I anger this minute, tiny one? "I'm in your head, forget that part? You're dumber now, this will be fun." So I sat at my desk and reaching out, Seized a pen with which to write. But my thoughts, crippled with doubt, Could think of no start to my plight. Lethargic muse abruptly aglow Spoke to me from his perch above. "Start with her, a woman you know, That sassy little wench named Love." I wrote with a fervor granted by God About the things that plagued my life. My muse smiled and his head did nod. My heart was alleviated of all its strife. Gentle whispers rocked me awake And blinking I looked at the ceiling. A pen in my hand is all it did take To give me back my heart's feeling.
