Prelude To A Dream

Still and solemn, 
Drifting, 
Sifting through 
A filmstrip of events, 
Moments 
Rolling by, 
Visual, graphic, muted, 
Undisputed 
Not suited 
For retelling, 
Dispelling substantive certainty, 
Dreams inadvertently 
Convey unconfuted fact, 
It's how we interact with 
Or better yet hack with, 
Things we don't quite 
Know, 
Don't quite want, 
Don't quite understand, 
Don't quite realize, 
Can't quite dream. 
Decamping from days until dawn 
A yawn 
That signifies travel, 
Wrapped in comfort, 
Nestled in nuance, 
Fluid flow of rest.
