The sun has settled
no light
shadows stretch
like endless fingers
left alone
with these thoughts
as they linger
   i take comfort
in this little light
that glimmers
these Music notes
that dance around me
smiling with delight,
as i take flight
      holding my hands in theirs,
Oh so very tight
As I listen to
this lullaby
as it comes alive
cradling me
my minds at peace
i wake at midnight
still in my dreams
singing and dancing
under this oak tree
all of a sudden
the wind picks up
i fall to my knees
frantic
with tears streaming  
coughing and choking
wondering
what's happening to me
while trying to breathe
searching and hoping
scared and asking
is this a nightmare
or my
*reality
