Morning breaks easy
Not a sound to distract
Slip soft out of slumber
Shake thoughts from my mind
I look to blank ceiling
Off white blank pristine
Light and shadow convergence
I’m reaching through silent spaces
Expecting smooth sailing
Expecting to fly
He was dancing
I saw him
But when I turned
he was solid still like death
Tidy crimped in his place
On the front lawn
basking in the pale Saturday sun.
While you are sleep dreaming
a trio of shadows alights in your room
You might hear their faint chorus
a distant melody deep sweet and low
What message their voices whisper
a calm symphony or euphonious hum
Gifts they leave for discovery
light passages welcome a new day
Lift your eyes toward ceiling at dawn
imagine there cloudless quiet skies
Three shadows meet in your window
looking in looking out through you
Stairway to sea
closed today
jumpers await
sundown shadows risk
stand on ledge
telepathic waves
wash away
walk away
another day.
