dream world

you awaken with
the moon still
in the window,
the curtains parted.
the white sheets
are snow, and
cold around you.
a red numbered
clock is across
the dark room.
it's three a.m.
and this makes you
warm and happy.
there is time to
go back to your
ocean of dreams.
a world of water
where everything
is both deep
and clear and safe.
you find your
pillows and set
sail.
