another night of waking up
awakened by vivid dreams
charcoal faces that sit at a table
focus then seem to fade

I'm thinking of calling them
cleansing dreams because
they are not disturbing
and have no feeling

yet baby, I am feeling very strange
daily mood swings and disoriented
and I swear, I am gaining weight
cuz these jeans fit better last week

I know it will pass, as all things do
just the body affected by spiritual expansion
I find naps relieving about mid day
and walks upon the earth

something about grounding, nature pacifies
as my senses pick up a current
frequencies ranging from shrill to comfort
as I walk with cheerful thoughts

the future unknown, awaiting its birth
whether it is grand or basically simple
I shall love it like a mother would do
for all that it is born to be
