Visions and Dreams

I Thought I Was Awake

I thought I was awake -

Then she slipped, softly - a cloud of cotton

Above my lids,

Lulling me into a dreamy dimension.

She gently placed me in her lap,

Rocking me back and forth,

Relieving me of my tension.

Away it slipped,

And I with it,

Into a realm between reality and dreams,

All fading together -

Impressionistic then surreal -

Until nothing was as it seemed.

All chatter became her tune,

Like waves upon the ocean,

And colors blended into her warm embrace.

I blinked, unsure of life,

But she swayed me back and forth

Outside of time and space.

I quickly sank into

Her surreal tranquility

And rested my head

Upon her shoulder,

Now lost to reality.
