All the World in a Second
Sleep takes me, unawares. For just a second, I dream.
But in that second, a whole world blooms.
Beginning to End, Alpha to Omega,
All of existence, all of experience,
A lifetime in one second.
My child makes a noise, drawing me out.
Out of my fleeting dream-world.
and back into this world,
where a lifetime takes a lifetime to pass.
