Wake Up!
December 2, 2019
Fly-swatter dreams
Trapped in a silk-soft web
Of desperate hopes dancing
To a jazz-tuned voice
As the mares of the night
Gallop, rumbling the Earth.
Sing the cotton-candy blues
In the Garden of Venus;
Swing the midnight lanterns
To light the dream-tiled night.
Walk past the buried fears,
The hidden joys,
The desperate clawing for
The impossible;
Wake up!
Swat! The fly is gone; the dawn has broken.
