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
