Sleep He lays down daydreams at twilight Mapping footprints in wet sand Imagines being captured Surrender to the sandman Sleep, his illusive mistress Sets course for his timeless hours Of three endless nights and days Wandering down dark hallways Sweet family sleeps, quietly he Slips away into the darkness Walking past virtually vacant homes Save for a few lit in flickering blue Faint sounds ricochet, echo Sometimes he overhears fights Husbands and wives, or Lovers lost in pleasure, Barking of backyard dogs Walking the deadened town Kicking leaves, shops shuttered Silent streets, waving to the beat cops They shake their heads, visions of vampires Sometimes overcome by loneliness But mostly he embraces being alone Observing life differently than most His perspective forever changed By his altered view of the rising sun Succumb to serene slumber, Dance of the dreamless on Seamless colorless tapestry woven © 1999 CM Bailey |
