possum
sleep your soft possum sleep
drifting on seas of dreams
slipping through blue like seagulls
like wet lovers
follow light and shadow
to pine islands
carry songs to bed
in your nested arms
wake to sundust circles
washing the ivory walls
of fragrant libraries
read words on rice paper
held against the dawn
to illuminate the script
swim in the shallows
of fantasy and murmurs
pick flowers from friendships
gather stones from your path
see the order of space and light
in the compartments of your thoughts
drink wisdom from the day
pray deeply
and remember
