As my bones settle into the evening
Surrounded by books and poetry
Oh, let me dream
Simply for the joy of dreaming
Passing the night away in beautiful memories
Piecing themselves together like a puzzle
One by one they click into place
Forming a life that stretches beyond the edges of eternity
Children waving at a passing train
Raspberry cupcakes and black coffee
Brightly colored balloons that polka-dot the sky
As my bones settle
