Lying next to
The glow of a candle
Dancing shadows
Tickling eyebrows
The light drawing me into
Sunspots
Pockets of time
That shine
On my mind
They have caught
The pace of my
Wandering eye
Like the sun
Lighting through the trees
Blinking through the shadows
Just like my eyes
Opening or closing
Images posing
For my review
Like clocks
Without faces
Colors so vivid
I could draw them in
With my eyelashes
Disguised as overhanging
Trees leaning over
Me
The bold and the beautiful
Become small circles
Orbiting
My universe within me
I see
Without limit
As long as I don’t
Try to hold them
Or mold them
If I can let go
Of my control
I can be
Serenity
Like
A baby learning how
To breathe
