Jeanne Mcgee Poet Quintilla

In the Fragility of Dreams

Down in the deep of my inner sleep
                After counting dozens of winter sheep
An unmentioned worry can lift its dark head
    To discuss some things, I rather do dread
                And make me shudder in dreams I may reap

                Other times after the cow jumps the moon
                When I am in bed curled up like a spoon
Comes playful sights and happy me sound
    Sometimes in your arms I am surround
                 To wake fresh in my world all lullaby hewn

                 Just as the sandman pulls up my bedspread
                 A simple thought I have, to plan far ahead
See sheep walking a palm tree strewn beach
     Force the bad to stay out of my sleepy head reach
                 Replace dreams of sad for the good ones instead
