As my bones settle

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
