Another jar of honey

Some night I'll leave the sheet down over my open window, allowing the breeze to blow through the room, puffing out the fabric so it looks like a ship's mast. In those moments, I like to pretend my bed is part of this ship and I'm coasting through the open waters on a cloudless, starry night. After all, sleep is a time to regain lost innocence, right?

I pretend I'm traveling the world with Max to the place where the Wild Things are. I imagine we're drifting along waters drawn by Harold and his purple crayon, while Winnie-the-Pooh continues to search the ship for one more jar of honey. We sail under a bright, full moon, bidding it goodnight as we sail on.
