sleeping

(while awake)

By Laura M.Published 3 years ago 1 min read

when you rest and put your mind upon your pillow,

let it dance and keep you refreshed

your brain can constantly hum

but let’s not allow our teeth to chatter

when the night is here it’s time to rest in these places,

these deep reservoirs of all you heard, felt, said, smelt…

in the travels of your day

allow your mind to dance on the pillow and then lay down for a rest

some sort of hour let’s you breathe more,

a deep rhythm achieved in beautiful rest

the humming is rhythmic,

you are a great soul

life is a giant ice cream shop,

you may scoop however much you like…

with wild colours everywhere,

maybe we need the magic to continue into our awakened hours

because then,

we could dance while awake, too.
