Dream

There is a night afloat in my mind,
The darkness is beckoning, tossing daring,
Signalling east, west, sometimes pointing north or south.
Or just remaining still, eager amid a vast expanse of nothingness.
Now unfriendly and frightening, then quiet and calming
But always calling as a daytime light..wake up!
I try to reachout but I cant it is untouchable, void.
Yet it dares me to sleep and dream, dreams..... still reaching
I lay motionless, unfulfilled like a beginning,
But the night afloat in my mind never sinks.
