Quotation #4 by Mimi Benson


There is a Japanese legend:
“If you can’t sleep at night, it’s because you’re awake in someone else’s dream.”


Here in my room, the clock nears midnight

I want to be asleep.

But I am captive in someone’s dream,

walking through his left-over thoughts, in the

room of his imagination.

And there I do his bidding, meet his friends,

get up to dance.

The clock moves on and pale light will begin

to creep nearer my bed.

Another day

and I am tired from dancing the night away.
