The Power Nap

At night, I kneel before the dark 
Say my prayers and park 
Next to the swimming pool of dreams 
While losing consciousness 
I sing songs pretending to be 
The Dream Master. 
I dive into the dreamworld 
Submersing myself into lucidity 
Attempting to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. 

Daytime sleep is different 
Usually starts around 1 or 2 o’clock, a siesta! 
Usually, I begin by laying on my back 
Close my eyes, maybe wear a solid batman mask 
And prepare myself. 
There’s a huge pool of dream energy 
An aquarium bubble on the opposite side of Earth 
That’s ½ that’s in the dark ... all sleeping 
In this gigantic Dream Bauble 
So far away ... I lure it to me 
Singing my dreamsongs and as I close my eyes 
I lose clarity then regain it by “seeing” 
This Dream Bubble floating toward me 
I reach out and put it on like a backpack 
A Dream Battery Pack and I’m hooked in 
So much dream energy pumping thru my brains 
Both halves being zapped simultaneously 
So powerful, I only need about 
45 minutes to an hour 
To fully recharge! 

I love power naps!
