Sleeping Thoughts
I nod and shake my head as fast as I naturally can
Faster than the breaths of a newborn child
I look around my room and see borders and walls facing me
They speak to me
They sing to me
A lush dark melody of my dreams under the seams
I trace the lines in the sky with my eyes
I hear the train going ever slowly by
My dreams control my every move
Sleep places me back on the ground
When I hear a sound that awakens my every sense
I jump from one frontier to the next
I will dream and I will keep the sanity from dying with the light
I will try to cope with day as I do the night
Maybe ...
