Snuggles flies home(an insomniac poet dreams)

3:30 am, an insomniac poet muses: "daylight is already coming, birds already stirring, the wind blowing gently;on the road to Zion we now gird ourselves for the thief lurks close, oh ye fellow travellers asleep: arise and shine! The glory of the Great Shepherd is already shining upon you, upon the earth, the cross of changes, here already, the sheep of change, already home!"

3.42 am; a sleepy thought stirs; "who or what is constantly unwound when we wind? who or what knows of this connection when we clasp and snuggle? Who or what can decipher the distressful unconnection when you fly away with snuggles? A once sleepy thought now sits wide awake, on the edge of daylight now emerging; the crossroad of changes, is already here, the track of our dreams already home!"

3.55 am a sleepy poet bemoans; "oh you sea gulls of this quaint little town, what nocturnals are you? what strange mutation are you made of that you forage and scream and fight for our trash, a leftover chip here, a leftover slice there? What strange times you live in that you hunt at hours unknown, at hours that your unknown ancestors ancient were still in the sea cliff's crags and crevices minding little gulls or loving mother gulls at nest home. Surely the sea of changes is here, our dreams no longer home!"

4:07 am; an insomniac poet dreams; "when snuggles flew home, a lonely heart beat, a sleepy head dreamed of airplanes becoming horses, of knights dark charging across kisumu's heaths(or perhaps riding an elephant), of dawn's break swimming across victoria lake. When daylight came, we boarded the "MV KAAWA" we joined the african secret society and quietly slipped into our lover's dream, no longer wishing for airplane horses or knights lances or elephant rides but across the sea of changes, across the uganda railway, huffing and puffing, merrily carrying snuggles across the border, the now fat controller not left behind, we loved them both, until the Shepherd took the sheep of change home!"
