to not knowing pt. ii - NaPoWriMo #17

sometimes i make the bed for my bedfellows -
worries and fears are tucked in 
quite happily,
and sometimes,
i kiss them goodnight -
with love,
and with the knowledge 
that they are asleep, 
away from me.

i close my eyes,
and revel in my sleep 
knowing that they won't bother me -
i'm not in that deep. 
with ease, 
i cruise through 
the landscape of my mind,
wary of what might face me,
accepting of what i might find.

it is wiser to not challenge 
the faces and voices 
you hear and see,
you owe it to your dreams,
a half-awake debtor,
it is wiser still, 
to happily avoid loss -
the less i know,
the better.
