What I've Imagined
Somewhere Between Here and There Challenge
That quick split of time is all that I need
I've been a princess, a pirate, even an old maid.
I'm quick, but mighty in that in between time,
I've fought a dragon, a demon, and even a mime.
It seems so silly to imagine yourself in these states,
But I often find I cannot control these wild fates.
I awaken at five fifty-five, for some unknown reason,
My alarm blares at six AM no matter the season.
So I lull myself to sleep for five minutes more.
Enough time to dream, maybe not to snore.
It's a quickly falling daze as I try to remember,
Part of that dream I had last November.
That quick split of time is all that I need
To let my imagination grow and feed.
I'm quick, but mighty in that in between time,
When I'm on the edge of sleep until that first chime.
