Midnight's Dream

Underneath the starry sky, I sleep
The pleasant breeze, a respite
On the soft grass, I sleep
The blades tickle and prick
I lie thus, dreaming in blissful oblivion
I dream, of things unintelligible
Into the world of dreams, I sleep

I see an angel, gliding gracefully
Dressed in a skirt that billows out
The angel come and touches me
She places a hand and I wake
I look into her eyes, amazed
Awestruck by the beauty and the power
Stunned by the light and the power

I take her hand and she sits
I look into her eyes, unnerved
I’m exhausted and I lie in her lap
Her dress feels warm and safe
She bends; her soft hair shields the world
It tickles my eyes, adds to the fatigue
And I sleep, peaceful and safe…
