Dreaming is the place behind the stars
under you eye-lids
lurking in the weary corners
of consciousness

A windy path to sanity
strewn with pain and mystery
a battle most private and sacred
a kingdom conquered
a war unending

Where lives infinite
stop before tradgey
where soft word press back
the monsters
where little whispers
cause stars to fall

Imagine falling
breathing deeply
sighing fully
and drifting . . .
What is a rosebud
a promise
barely audible
under spreading
green leaves

tiny potential
to be the grandest
of the graceful blossoms
in the garden of the world

tiny color
like a baby
reaching down
to drink the goodness
of the rich earth

holding breath
of life in the heart of it
a secret inside that none
will know but the
honey bee

as secrect as a
young girl's heart
as gentle as
spring welling up
to overwhelm and
wash away
winter's decay

oh please keep
little promise
open your tiny eye
oh live
oh bloom
((I would like to announce that my rosebush has many little rose buds
and two blossoms) =)
