A nice prescription of sleep

A nice prescription of sleep

I took when the day proved awry

And found myself when I blinked

In a dreamscape of its own kind.

 

I could hardly believe it

But I saw a meadow without end;

I stopped my crying to think

Of where the tiller went.

 

I saw in hues that\'d never been;

The sky emoted rest.

That place - known only to me -

Brought me there at behest

 

And of time? What did it mean

To the birds above the field?

To the excitable bee

Nourished by a fallen tear?

 

Suddenly - I startled -

And sitting up in my bed -

Felt my wound\'s sharpness dulled

Almost like it\'d never happened.
