as I sleep I can

always

tell about the moment

that I start to dream

and into the next passage

is a way to see across

the clouds and glowing sunbeam heat

to where the warm has gone into a day

of a catnap or a captured moment

all in a night snooze

that was so easy to relax in

a prior state of no moon

for the dark when you close your eyes

And the grasp on that time

the chance to curl up and

all peacefulness grows

and you know

to much smile glimmers

in the soft light from a

battery powered candle flame

inside a cabinet of crystals and minerals and plants

making the scene of a few fireflies and magic

yet when morning comes

Feistiness and

lightning electric filled eyes

rise up slowly
