Baby Dreams

August 13, 2010
I actually started writing this when Serenity was an infant. I found it amazing that she was experiencing REM so early. Her dreams must have been amazing.

Eyelids closed in infant sleep;
     rapid eye movement
as quick as your heartbeat:
What could you
     be dreaming?

With eyes wide open you can't find,
     can't even focus;
yet visions flash in your mind:
What could you
     be dreaming?

Not old enough to even be young.
     Heart not awakened
to the good or bad; right and wrong.
What could you
     be dreaming?

Is your soul still connected
     by a heavenly cord?
Your innocence unaffected.
What could you
     be dreaming?
