i dreamt last night
in this dream
i dreamt
i was suffused with light
glowing
like the sun
bursting
at the seams

i woke
hurriedly
scribbled the thoughts
as the last word
was written
the power went out
as if
my expenditure
was enough
to blow the grid

last night i dreamt
after dreaming the dream
i had dreamt prior
i dreamt
a new dream
in which the light
slowly
recharged
inside of me

the sounds
of everything
powering back up
awoke me
now i wonder
if my dreams
are affecting the world

a test
i shall close my eyes
hold you
as you lay beside me
in this new dream
i dream
whisper a prayer
you are here
when i awake

here is to hoping
