Someone Said
Virginia Salter

Someone said,
”Just go to bed!”
I wonder who it was.
Could it have been someone real close
whose eyes are filled with fuzz?

Could it have been
that someone that sees me in the mirror
that sleeps beside the empty place
and sheds a simple tear?

To bed instead
of dancing
or standing on her head
to bed to find a dream to dream
where vision’s duly fed.

At end of day
and end of play
the pillow waits in fluff
to carry one upon a stream
of pixie dust and stuff.

Somewhere
beyond the land of Nod
where whippoorwills sing songs
and jellyfish sit in a dish
and dragonflies are strong.

Come with me
across the sea
where damsels smile and plead
and honey bees, in sycamore trees
provide us well with mead.

Where nonsense
pays the greatest price
for picnics neath the sun
and butterflies in paradise
flit and fly for fun.
