Waking up in Avalon

Waking up in Avalon

Somehow it seems sacriligious
To impose
A day's order on a day like this.
The space between sleeping night
and waking day stretches elastic
as if I occupy a hole in time.
Others pass by
and disappear,
but the mist lies magic below
promising a day of enchanted delights.

Today
or tomorrow
I shall wake up
in Avalon
