Walking through starlight.

Dark and Crimson world

 Light just beyond the Horizon

Warm and welcoming

Not ready

To go there just yet

Not ready to leave the fantastical things

Dreams in light

The waking world holds

Too many fears and monsters there

 Door creeks open

Little voice calls, mom

Her little hand shakes me

Brings me into the waking world

Her smiling face

It’s the first thing I see

Still not ready to be awake

But it’s time to be mommy
