Champagne Dream
Lying wide awake in bed
Carbonate whirlpools fill my head.
A fizzing frenzy of swirling thought
Dispelling answers I once sought...
My eyes, alive with scattered spark
By themselves illuminate the dark.
Kaleidoscope visions of gold and blue
Place dancing fantasies in my view.
Heart, pounding hard in my chest
While all my body seeks is rest.
I inhale slowly the blessings to come
And gently exhale the day that’s done.
Memories floating through the night
Like a firefly fluttering just out of sight.
My ears, still ringing as it may seem,
Catch quiet whispers of a champagne dream...

The main idea for this piece came to me late one night while lying wide-awake in bed. I get some of my best ideas while lying in bed unable to sleep. It's as if the chaotic thoughts of the day quiet down just enough for me to hear the deeper internal thoughts. Often times I'll get a sudden jolt of inspiration and have to get up and turn the laptop on. For me, sleepless nights are actually pretty good...
