Peaceful dreaming

I hover outside the fringes of a distant crowd a soft disquiet looming beyond the darkness the moons of Jupiter sucking me into a shroud. I choose to be pleasantly placid this moment my eyes fixed at the faint glow of sunset I will not be choked up in passions that torment. Melding into an intimacy with the gathering dusk I feel a chill leading me on a treacherous path into a garden teeming with hyacinth and musk. I fantasize a gnome will appear unpredictably to make murky forecasts in its nave of shadows - of a stilted, pained future in a poignant tragedy. Shifting sounds of ocean waves unsettle me - although clouds are churning under a windswept sky I cling to the splendor of a serene life to set me free. @jjote022624
