Dreaming

Tonight I am flying.

I am floating up off the couch and out the door and down the street past the lamp on the left. I'm being whisked away above the houses and the phone lines and electrical towers. I see the moon shining down on me as if I'm the only one in the world with my own spotlight. I can reach my hand out and touch the stars. I hold them in my hand as they shake and shimmer ever so lightly.

Then, as a gust of wind swooshes me past Orion's belt and the horns of Taurus, I see something shining in the distance. And as it gets closer, it gets warmer. The glow is incredible and the heat is intense, but it's not sweltering. It's not hot at all on the outside even, it's just comforting. Inviting. And inside this glowing ball of light I see something that was made just for me. It's so relaxing and warm that I curl up into a ball and I fall asleep.

It's safe.

And as I sleep, I dream that tonight I am flying.
