DREAMY DILEMMA

A still afternoon.
Quiet except for the sounds of children playing.
Summer haze lingers on just before the first moon.
Settling down for a nap my eyes flutter about in search of silence. My mind drifts off to a serene sanctury.

Here now at the precipice of deep slumber
I stand
waiting for calm winds to surge
me
forth.

You appear from a hidden fragment of my mind
to touch my hand. From the sha do w y depths

of imagination you claim my attention.
Altered by your presence I paralyse.
Clear and exuberant; a star burning bright like it once was. We.
I grapple to keep you at bay by rushing out to my sweet escape. Before you call out to me again
I savour the pleasure of a you-less sleep.
