Melatonin Dreamin’

Crystal clear. Colors you can hear.

Images so sincere. All things you fear

seem so near. Dreams come alive

during the night. Out of sight. Inside

the mind. One of a kind. Hiding

behind a stop sign. Gliding on

a cloud and floating on a cleft

note. Missing the boat. Riding

the bus kicking up dust. Eyes glow

in the shadows. Horns grow. Ghosts

doing the most. Angels visit. Back

alleys lit. Just another misfit. Lucid.

Dancing with the devil. Picking

up a shovel. Digging up the past.

First things first. Good dreams don’t

last. Nightmares and goosebumps.

Fast asleep while the reaper creeps.

This melatonin is hitting in a dream

I’m sitting. Waiting for the alarm

to wake me up. For the sun to come

up. For now, I’m melatonin dreamin’.

Hugging angels and fighting demons.

Ups and Downs

What goes up
must come down.
What goes right
has never left.
Some never come
down when they
go up and away.
Those lucky enough
come down with
a new found love
for the sky above.
Hills and valleys –
streets and alleys –
sad and happy;
we must feel it
all when we fall.
When we slip up,
we must never
look down. Look
around, and think
of those climbing
the same mountain.
