Night Thoughts

REM Sleep

Dreams like dandelion seed heads
drift across the acres of my mind,
flutter in the soft exhalation of breath
that leaves my lips, parted in sleep.

Who knows where the air currents
will carry them, or on which canvas
the colours of my mind will paint
another random, rainbow landscape?

  2. Actually, Elizabeth, the title should give you the clue - this time I'm meant to be asleep and dreaming!

  5. Wonderfully said..dreams are as epehemeral and elusive as dandelion seeds adrift in the air...
