Sheep

In the pasture of sleep, I roam the fields.

Where shadows of memory graze quietly.

A soul tethered in the past.

Its bleats echo through far-away hills.

These spectral wanderers.

Wool spun from the threads of nostalgia.

Each flicker.

Each hoofbeat.

A heartbeat of joyous laughter.

In the quiet of night, I am their shepherd.

That leads triumphantly to the lamb I

once was.
