While sleeping

Good morning beautiful

 

While sleeping

 

Why is it mornings, so far in the distance,

flowing from beyond tempered shorelines

on lone standing bridges ~

always seem to call in the midst of a dream

 

When sunrise illusions now erase sleep

on meadowlark borders dotted in dew drops

built in the confines of spring

with fall fast approaching ~ featuring shadows stretched of time

 

Long on the porch, weathered and beaming,

tapping the front door with marching band fingers

in trumpet blares and bass drum beats ~

yet quiet in the state of mind seen through blurry eyes

 

Still ~ a before smile, brought about the prior evening

forces dimples once again in my cheeks

igniting the darkness with three-ring spotlights,

streaked of circus beacons on popcorn ceilings

 

Reminding ~ the dream I have found actually lives in my daylight,

slipping around corners and window sill gaps,

finding me on the brink of now,

stumbling my way to where I long to be ~ awake

 

For my dream is you,

 

who I so desperately miss ~ while sleeping

I'll probably savor my mornings even more than i already do if i were to read this at every dawning of a new day.
Beautifully written Jack, :)

You've rewritten the lyrics to I Don't Want to Miss a Thing...I think I like your version better, although I love that song and probably why it came to mind...
"I could stay awake just to hear you breathing, cause I miss you babe, and I don't wanna miss a thing."

"For my dream is you,
who I so desperately miss ~ while sleeping"
