A Token Moment

Take me away to the land

of sun drenched cotton sheets:

white, crisp, clean, and cool,

to wrap me in cozy comfort.

Let me live in a land

of baby kittens, fuzzy bunnies,

and lovely lambs who stay

cute, cuddly, and curious.

Fly me to castles of mist,

floating through magickal chambers

where dreams come true

in the wink of an cloudy eye.

Wash me in a gurgling stream

of chortled laughter

and then dry me, gently,

in petals of wild meadow flowers.

A simple return to the sweetness

of being alive...

if only for a moment,

now and again,

as I gaze through a grimy prism,

squinting for rainbows.
