Hibernation

By Danny Villarreal

 

 

 

     I want to curl up like a giant bear

     Fall asleep in a bed of hair

     Sing myself away to sleep

     Counting crows...counting sheep

 

     Locked away in silent caves of rock

     No birds, no chirps, or sounding of clocks

     Far from all that upon silence intrudes

     Dreams as picturesque painted interludes

 

     Hear the beating of my heart

     Live the life the sleep can start

     Death my only light

     In this ever present fight

 

     All becomes eternal sleep

     Fears are swallowed and discreet

     Smoke and mirrors seem to show

     As above so below.
