Days of me
Morning rising up
out of the ocean of sleep
dreams pulling loose
I want to dive back in
to the wonderful worlds
I escape to each night
Awake begrudgingly at last
I face reality and wonder
why get out of bed
know because I am blessed
alive to a new day
I escape into wonder
I turn over leaves
get out my microscope
click on my stargazer
read, paint, write, listen
talk with a friend
walk my dog with my husband
He and I shop, cook, eat, laugh
go our separate ways
for our evening, me to write
he to watch TV and then
I pull the blinds shut
dive back into the ocean of sleep
Willow, I love how you look at the wonder you escape to after your ocean of sleep. So many wonders in the midst of our struggles in our everyday life. This is beautifully written, and I especially love "oceans of sleep/dreams pulling loose."
