Dreams

I lie in bed
listening
to the quietness
that surrounds me
the world
doesn’t seem to move
and the clock
doesn’t seem to tick
not tonight
my soul
drips slowly
through my fingers
falling
down gently
like a summers rain
caressing my skin
the sweet scent
filling
my entire body
the darkness
carries me
into my dreams
and they
take me
ever so gently
and ever so sweetly
