Island of Dreams
Reluctance weighs me down
when light dances
through my happy eyelids
Each bothering moment
pulls me farther
from my safe nest
Where everything works
Where all things are calm
and I am walking
In places where ones
who are no longer here
sit with me a moment
and the empty place inside
Fills once again with their warm light
This safe nest of quilts …
pillows angled properly to hold me
like true love-
where my best answers await
where the cuts from sharp words heal
Where my heart rests
and renews its vow
to bring me through another day
My solitude
My small kingdom
My tiny cottage-
Some days- I can hardly wait
to use my return nightly ticket
to my very own
Island of dreams
