One Of These Dreams ...
Imagine a morning without dawn, without daylight ... The night birds still hoot, the flowers wait for the light to change their make-up, black birds have locked their beaks. A morning unlike any other ... The moon above continues to reign over the milky way, the stars to shine. Still night. Could the sun perhaps be ill, bed-ridden, unconscious .... My eyelids tremble, the dream frightens them. Finally I dare open my eyes. Through the window, I see dawn. A moving blue ribbon with golden stitches.

ahh, nice!
Oh, the relief. Resonant details--locked beaks, flowers changing make-up, that last beautiful line.
Makes me think of death and rebirth.

'locked their beaks' .. a striking phrase. Well done.
