Hum

Words sing around my head like lullabies
Phrases rendered senseless by the light
Find meaning in the chambers of my almost
sleep.  Murmurs remembered as melody
Before the mind knew they were words
Bring comfort, company and soft-hued harmony
So when I rise and look up quickly
Just in time to see a patch of blue
Ushered off hurriedly by efficient clouds
I also sense, like words that flit away as I awake
A flash of radiant possibility
