On waking

naturemusictimelove

On waking

Wrap your dreams

In rainbows

Reach for them

As they move further away

Hidden treasure

Is a secret never told

Written in the ice

On broken windows

Jack Frost

Melting in hot breath

Love hearts

Drawn in dewdrops

On grimy glass

Condensed on cobwebs

In the corner

Where the flies are caught

In the draught

As the north wind blows

Fairy dust

Is hard to come by

It flutters in the gleam

Of moonbeams

Spiralling up

To the dirty ceiling

Like smoke from

A spent candle

Coughing a funereal

Splutter

Collapsing slowly

On the nightstand

With every breath

The dream dies

Nipped between

Ice cold fingers

A last kiss

Is a sorry thing

To be left with

Lingering in shadows

As morning breaks.
