Make, Believe

I awoke this morning.

The low light of the early sun barely making it through the window

Barely making its way

into my

two windows

Eyelids open a sliver

The room before me slowly changing from

singular to plural

One thing

to

many

A room of shadow

giving way to shapes

Edges form

Separation starts

In the early hours

Magic

that has become mundane

Begins

The subconscious incantations that murmur

The quiet hum of the mind’s machinery

a brain

Makes

While a heart

Believes

a world is birthed

From light reflecting off of atoms

Where

in the sea of information

I plot a course

Avoiding the pitfalls I fear

And moving forever toward

my desired

destination
