All From My Bed
My mind is filled of fantasies untold
Of witches and monsters and heroes of old
The world slips away while I’m here in my bed
The words fly off the page and I try to guess what’s ahead
The story dances behind my eyes
My heart races as new adventures arise
Even so, the murmur of sleep whispers in my ear
The lullaby is soft yet clear
The images of battles and adventures fade
And images of calm and rest invade
A seamless blending of the two worlds lasts for only an instant
As Sandman leads me from this realm into the next
I am content.
When I wake, I will leave this enchanted place
Grief will be felt, but I will go with grace
I will greet the morning with a stretch and a smile
Because I know I will stay in this world for a while.
