Strawberry dreams

      Deliciously decided to take on some strawberries
for a refreshing snack. Hmm. Not realizing how
quickly I can devour a whole pint of them alone.

      Only sadness seated here is that now I don't have
anything else to eat. Ah. Oh well perhaps a good thing.

       Although this has transpired my eyes become
droopy. The well fed stomach has decided all is
full and sleep is welcomed.

       Not once, not twice but three times in ten
minutes I found myself nodding off. Perchance this
a great opportunity to just allow the exhaustion to
control, to finally fall asleep.

       So pressing myself alert for a few more minutes.
Long enough to slip out of denim and in between
cooling cotton sheets.

       Somewhere along the way the muscles relax
and tension holds outside of soul. The mind calls
to bed the warmth of memories.

       Then a sigh that brings a yawn all echo inside
a darkened room. Shh the mind says to the soul.
The spirit even calms yet stands alert.

       Calling open the satin coverlet. Sliding limbs
beneath and saying last minute prayers. Hoping for
a freshness of the morning to take hold soon.

      Hmm. The eyelids flutter once more and that
is my cue to say goodnight.
