Sleepy Beauty

 This is one of my favorite fun poems that was published in Down the Rabbit Hole!

Sleepy Beauty



Like an unbalanced beam
When I forget to daydream.
I close my eyes
See peace in disguise
Dancing out of a colorful steam
As my favorite flavor of ice cream.
I take a bite, and it seems
I'm swimming in streams of glitter
Where worries whither
And villains can't scheme,
All is agleam.
Gliding through the shine
Souls rest and recline.
Then a sudden buzz and screech
I lose control of my speech
Laughing in twirl and swirl
I open my eyes and hurl
Toward a screaming alarm
That I unplug with no harm
"Now, not another peep,
I'm going back to sleep."

S. Ambrose

I don’t belong at a table with those who can’t see the beauty in creation, who can’t feel the magic of believing in something beyond mere survival. I’m somewhere in between looking for those who can hear the music over the noise. I’m at home with those w...
