The Cave Part 11
Darkness, and the countless points of light, as if the entire void beyond was filled with the fire of a million stars. I felt as if I was staring into the eternity of a night sky beyond those wooden doors, the place beyond the actual reality, while I stood behind a curtain of scenery, the mountain and sky a mere pretense. And in that void beyond of unfathomable space, there hung suspended a mighty shard of crystal floating in place, with hundreds of a far smaller chunks orbiting around it in balanced but intersecting circles, no two in the same path. These caught the light from the center, and sparkled with inner fire each.

Excellent haiku & challenge entry. Decades ago, sometimes I had five, 9 minute snooze sessions… always needed to finish off dreams.
Every morning! Especially in winter.
Love the gentle romance in this. Agree with Lana! Have called in sick because of ten minutes becoming more!
Ah, the infamous “just 10 more minutes” is never just 10, right? Great haiku, AJ!
I hate waking up, lol. But I only like cuddling with my bolster, not a human hahaha
