Sans Fat Lady Lulaby

Sans Fat Lady Lullaby

Go softly in these opening moments of the dream
As suddenly from under head the pillow drops
Abruptly with one jolt and stops
Hovering over a tranquil scene like a light beam

Bright white house with a porch beside
But how are you without a body
Still in this silent place with only
Vision aware without sensation

A little dog appears and seems
To wait for your attention and
You would extend a living hand
If only you had one

Move slowly in these final moments
Having a full three-sixty view
With no connection to
What previously you considered you

Now no direction holds
That former forming in its place
And an ability to turn
Sphericals has a certain grace

And still as gently entering these schemes
Where only hovering remains till last of life at last
Cools and when one exists thereafter
Only in other people's dreams
