I climb into bed
The way I might climb a tree
Knee lifted up high
My bed is higher
Off the ground so that I am
Closer to heaven
When I lie in bed
Just before I fall asleep
I let go and hope
I like this high bed
My cotton sheets my pillows
Bedtime is welcome
One day I would like
To have a steadfast lover
Who sleeps by my side
Just before I fall asleep
I let go and hope
I like this high bed
My cotton sheets my pillows
Bedtime is welcome
One day I would like
To have a steadfast lover
Who sleeps by my side
Written lying in bed late on the night of September 19, 2012
Meant to be separate haiku, but they read like one poem. So be it.
