NIGHT LIGHT

NIGHT LIGHT

An unpretentious history
Is talking in your sleep –
A particle of light you held –
Expedient and deep –

Is gaining swift velocity
And shedding mystery
In daunting luminosity –
It wakens reverie.

The words and lines were transcribed to me as I was sleeping, and I had to get up to write them down in my notebook more than once.
