ruminations

I lay me down to sleep
cocooned in a thistledown
quilting a rumination
that teases my restlessness
a zephyr murmurs
perceptions permeating my being
taking me to the edge of a light
the darkness inks my spirit
forging poesies into my heart
as night breathes its nuances
into my intropsections
pushing dreams into oblivion
a moment hung in eternity
in a finite space of time
I still embrace my dreams..

I feel the desolation of a universe
that is so alive, even as the night sky
sings an ode to the stars and the moon
the milky way echoes
the song of my dreams..
