Sweet Dreams

I would live in that house in my imagination,
sleep in the rafters of that old house 
play cards on a small table by dim light 
in my imagination there, where family waits,
a warm bed with many quilts.  My favorite
parts of this whole life are there in that house
where I was so green as to believe happiness
was a warm place in the rafters, dreaming.
