New Dawns

Immerse they say
Yawn in dawns of bright new days
Pillow canyons 
blue blanket falls
Yarn gardens 
tangled 
listless 
tall

Above wicker birds 
endlessly high
is open firmament 
a cotton down sky.

A door slowly opens in the still mezzanine,
within soft ivory forests and spiny mesquite trees.
Fleeting brisk laughter from vanishing imps
is our welcoming overture and beckons us in.

From a dark chasm we slowly emerge
Through a symbol, a door marked cypher and verge.  
The door locked behind us, leaving us here
to wander in awe
for the rest of our years.
