Listening to every heart

Sleepless

Flowered paper
two dimensional
appears to move
three dimensional
as lace shadows
from night beams
of moon’s light
stream in

Fullest of moon
lights my dreams
so
feel the pull
that is
scattering sleep
along the prairie
and walk with
me
in the wind

Come help me
gather my thoughts
as they run
as rampant
as children
on a spring day

Then just lay
quiet with me
here on the plains
here in my spirit
let me feel
you telling me
it will be
all right
in all ways
always

Then

Then let
the sound
of me

Touch the moon
