When I Sleep

When darkness awakens, my body settles gently into bed. 
The events of my day race rapidly in my thoughts as I close my eyes. 
Slowly, I am lulled into a peaceful sleep.

I hear vibrant music - so full of passion. 
I feel the warmth of the sun’s rays that grace my presence. 
I see kind, adoring eyes gazing back into mine.

The air is full happiness - so much laughter. 
Soft caresses are exchanged. 
At this moment, life could not be any more wonderful.

I have never felt so beautiful; as I do when I am with you. 
I have finally found the respect and acceptance that I have yearned for. 
I eagerly listen to inspirational dreams and goals 
and know that I want to be the one to be there 
when they are complete.

A thin line of love and friendship is crossed, 
and two single souls find a home to share eternity.

Birds begin to proudly serenade the morning dawn. 
Lonesome roads slowly progress into distinguished passageways. 
Light peeps through my windows and I awaken to a new day. 
I am ready to endure what the day has in store for me,
because I know that I am a queen, 
and I know extraordinary love when I sleep.
