Sleeping Kitten's Innocence

Unconsciousness,
a peaceful pass-time.

Sleeping beauty, developing
into something else, unseen.

Hearing a lullaby while dreaming,
of baby kittens, not princes charming.

Smoothness of youth, exemplified, nurtured, created.

Glowing round apples of health
do not wake,

Brambles will be apparent, at return
to bristling reality.
