trippin slumber

as the sky melts to nothing but wax
and the silence of night sneaks up
the wind will sting your ears lightly
as your eyes start to close
the light fades quickly
and colors move like waves slow
the distant thoughts of today leaving
as you fall into a dream.
peaceful at last in surrender
holding on no more to the mundane
god speaks if only a fleeting sigh
as you dance with ghosts of youth
a beautiful place to visit
as nighttime shows the passage way
a haven for your inhibitions
rests soundly in your mind
The beauty of the easy road
as a map to solace and peace
lies closer than you had ever thought
and life is but a dream.

"as you dance with ghosts of youth"...oh boy...don't I know this. The youth that I have left behind...the love that was never started and never finished. It is the substance of my dreams...just as you have written here. Tranquil and a perfect read before I slip off this evening into the arms of the love I have never known.
