Dreaming Twice

Sun is bright-shining
Through the window
Curtains ruffled in the breeze
The last bit of sleepiness
Fades away with
The cricket's sneeze.

You laugh and throw the silk covers back
The maid will make your bed.
When you feel a gentle rapping--
Could it be inside your head?

You open your eyes
You see your mother
Standing over you.
She smiles and says, "Get out of that bed!"
(And you thought your dreams were
Through!)
