At night the dreams arise in fitful sleep
\nEmerging from some long forgotten fright,
\nWanton creatures scavenging the deep
\nDisturb the quiet requiem of night.
\nThey scutter from the hunter drawing near
\nBlindly thrash around upon the bed
\nAs spiders turn to dust and disappear,
\nI know that this is all inside my head.
\nThen through the dark gray labyrinth a face
\nSeen perhaps just dimly far afield
\nThe moment comes in solitary grace
\nWhen all these shadows fade and start to yield
\n To sunlight playing on a mountain lake,
\n The world becomes your smile — I’m awake.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
