To Dream

I close my eyes
darkness envelopes the
shapes of the past

waiting for the faint light
the opening glimmer
of another life
different stage
different players

white dots
speckle the black curtain
dancing around
like miniature spotlights
before the curtain opens

but the shapings
of the darkness
stills the opening act

the thought comes
to open my eyes
but somehow
the darkness feels better.

How wonderful this is in its
descriptiveness of dreams.
Yes the darkness is of so much
comfort at times.

Enjoyed this very much

the thought comes
to open my eyes
but somehow
the darkness feels better.
