Winter Solstice Birthday Dream
 
Twas the night of the winter solstice, and all through the house
The only creatures stirring was the cat chasing a mouse.
It was the conjunction, Sun, Moon, Stars,
Saturn, Jupiter, Earth and Mars
 
As I nestled, snuggled in my bed,
visions of my birthday played in my head.
The cat paused in its chase,
And settled in her bed with grace.
 
Out window I took one last glance
in the moon’s light, I fell into sleep like trance.
A mist formed in the state I entered
into to the dream I ventured.
 
Scenes appeared to me in a foggy mist
Giving me the feeling of something I missed.
A vision of the past, a vision to behold,
A vision foretold.
 
Awaking with a start,
From my body I felt apart,
As I looked down
My body below me, I look around.
 
Mother, father, sister, brother
I see one then the other,
Memories of the past,
Memories I hold to steadfast.
