when my eyelids droop
and my head lolls ever
so slightly and my
breathing slows just so
the painters in my head
take complete control
the work they create
can either be of
beautiful and lush
landscapes
or
of severe and foreboding
seascapes
either way i awake to
a new day with artwork
spawned from my
most inner thoughts
