Out through the window once a night

An escape from the pains of everyday life

A time to let the imagination take flight

Place of peace, never of strife 

                                                                                                                                                               An array of life uncovered before

To leave through the window is to see through different eyes

Things to be seen are difficult to ignore

Able to discover those in the underlies

                                                                                                                                                            Smell the sweetened air whistling past

Command here to do as I please

Desires and requests that are going to last

To move freely and feel at ease

                                                                                                                                                           All is different now; all is safe

The impossible to allow others in

Only I, no one may vouchsafe

As I continue on, the light begins to dim

                                                                                                                                                           As time slips away, as do I

It is not up to me when I may leave

To return would be devastating; to say goodbye

No freedom to remain as I please

                                                                                                                                                       Back through my window as I was

Eyes that flitter and twitch open to morning

Emerge enlightened
