Day Dreaming

Dawn Thebarge Hill

1998

Drifting

Floating

Lazy Loops of Luxury

Gliding down a river of silken dreams

Time stands still

beckoning one away

to far off lands of imagined splendor

Hopelessly drowning

in a sea of nothingness

Overwhelming boredom

encompassing the hours

Waiting

stifling emptiness

Surrounds oppressively

Begging for release

selfish demons refuse

until

at long last the phone rings
