Midnight Dreaming

Lay wake, for there, is a full moon tonight,

With all your breath, take in its mystical light.

//

Exhale your encumbrance and fall to sleep,

They gather around; keep counting those sheep.

//

Black figures frolicking, where have I come to be,

Aye, mate! Have you come to trust in thee?

//

Within God’s Acre, show me the scullery, let me earn my keep,

Hollow winds and vacant landscapes, hurry; we must come together. It is time for us to eat.

//

Watch out; the silhouettes and regalia kerfuffle beneath the midnight gleam,

Hurry and dissipate the commotion before it becomes your life’s theme.

//

Look around! Above and round, the reeds flurry; look at them a whirl,

A few left in our heirlooms; approach them kindly; it could just be your bosom’s pearl.

//

Integrate, consolidate, and commemorate.

For those who dance beneath the moonlight, memories perpetuate.

//

Acknowledge the shimmering moon now at its zenith,

They have not vanished; it is simply time to replenish.
