"Zebra Dream"

by Jeph Johnson

 

Streaming golden hair
Flows gently in the wind,
Your eyes look up,
So tranquil green
And invite me to come in.
In my dreams
Sometimes I'm flying,
Then I fall down to the ground.
Black and white and silent
Like a zebra, with no sound.
Your lips so bright and smiling
A new red lipstick hue.
I only dream in color
When dreaming of you.
