Dreams

After a long day,											 
I finally fall into bed to sleep-										
The a/c is rattling, 											
the puppies and wife snuggle in 									
without a peep-											
The ceiling fan slowly 											
goes round and round.											
just whispering enough,									 
making that beautiful sound-										
The sheets are cool, 											
I drift off to another land,										
a place of comfort and safety,										 
that never gets out of hand-										
Here unlike other worlds, 										
I seem to have complete control,									
almost as if I was supernatural, 								
achieving all my unearthly goals-
