Dawn
April 30, 2023
|
|
In darkness... it slept.
In the still... it stayed asleep.
Someone knocked... then went away...
They left their dreaming... on the doorstep...
And it wrestled in its sleep...
As if anxious... but now... no rustle...
The dream... undisturbed.
Someone left a calling card...
And... there were... whispers...
In the lamp light...
No deep sleep... not now...
But... the lamp was in the dream...
And not but one... in the house... was stirring.
Is that the dawn?
Is the world awakening?
Is this where all dreams cease...?
Those sharp points of light...
Ending my dream time...
Calling to me... calling to me...
Until... I answer.
What was stirring in the night...
Will right itself out...
In the light of the day.
And I can sleep... and dream...
A little longer.
Be... so very... still.
I want to be somewhere...
Where I can dream.
