Only when I am supposed
to be sleeping
can I write the dance
of language in my head.
While the night sky
whispers lullabies
and babies sigh
my mind waltzes furiously
outside the lines.
Nothing stirs.
There is no sound
But the silent fall of gentleness
Star dust streaming to earth
And covering the ground
In a soft blanket of purity. Costuming trees
As serene and beautiful giants
Stretching long arms heavenward.
I close my eyes,
Lift my face to the sky
And feel the kisses of angels
Melting at my touch.
my chin tilts toward the sky
imagination carving shapes from
marshmallow clouds
I wiggle painted toes
in the sunshine
and dream of all I wish to be.
are happy feet!"
