“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” -Kurt Vonnegut

Sleepwalk just for a little while
where confusion and
its reality meet
dreaming state like
the dismayed new day
abrupt to start, but
an unknown future lays ahead
Sleepwalk, steps, that
pitter-patter; pitter-patter
a daze, as elegant as the moon
whose great craters cover its
mysterious face, a majestic view
of the stars
shining so bright, white splashed on black
Sleepwalk, only to wake
up to the heat, cool warmth
of the sun, whose hands slowly
caress and holds you in its hands
The night lights around
circle, dance, vibrating against
the walls covered with wallpaper
A journey through dreams and imagination through insomnia
The sun slowly wakes up, arms like
peacock feathers gracefully stretch
beautifully, Good morning;
It is a new day
