Dormancy

 Delicate reds and oranges

blaze to life on the hillsides

overshadowing this sleepy valley

drawing my lingering, longing gaze

every time I walk outside

I almost hear a silent chant

floating down into my waking dream

come up, come up, come up

Somnolescence holds me down

trapped here on the valley floor

looking back and whispering

I will, I will, I will

knowing full well that when I do

it will be too late
