Unlock the Dreamless Sleep

Unlock the dreamless sleep
to see the truth
when afraid
you are the last face
with words of decision
bound to gaze into the mirror,
when you are surrounded by us
in the evening of our hearts'
and still know we are one
even if unnoticed
by anyone
in the light of day.

How do we close our eyes
and fly away
when we find
we are only human
wearing a dress of skin
and we remember how we met
and built bridges to be together?
Still, we both know
that a music flows between us
and neither one of us
can ever
forget the words.

The doors are wide open
and nothing is different,
our love is full of life and time.
Unlock the dreamless sleep
and see the truth,
my beloved,
look at us
in the evening of our hearts'.
We are still one
even if unnoticed by anyone
in the light of day.

can't tell you who made the image, but i can tell you this.. it is a combination of 5 separate images done in a .psd format using layers (; good poem too! -s the question is.... what is the 5th image (: betcha nobody can find it! it is actually most likely 7 images and a dot...... but still nobody will figure out the 5th overlay that is out of place in the whole photo (: i will make it easy.. Firebird, UFO. and of course the bird above the eye is the only one without a butt or a tail feather. So my final answer to your question is this.. there are 8 overlayed images made in photoshop.. a good effort.. but not professional so.. chances are... nobody will know who did it, because whomever did it, stole other art to make his art... lets call it a montange. I say that because, the clouds that are overlayed over the original clouds are a image that many Graphic Design/Web Designers use.. it is actually a thunderhead.. but whatever (:

I feel like I know too much about this poem. It is certainly another shining gem cut and faceted by a wonderful talent. Reading it creates conflicting emotions in me.

Each word seems to flow into the next, like watching running water. Reading this, a soothing balm.

Thank you Drifting :)

I really enjoyed this piece. I found I was absolutely absorbed in your words and I drank them in like a parched and eager child. Such easy flow and opens a door in my mind of how we view things and changes the way in which we do. Good work!

Thank you Alpris :)

Love the last line here. It says so much because our own perspectives are stunted.

Thank you Ken :)

[Kenneth The Poet]

No problem at all.

How do we close our eyes
and fly away
when we find
we are only human

Love those lines... it is hard to reach for the stars when we know we have limited resources and success is remote... but we must remember it is the try not the success that keeps the heart beating.

absolutely, thank you RRC :)

I am again in awe of the beauty of your words.
Beautiful poetry as ever.

Thank you Belle :)

[An owl on the moon]

How you create such a stream of existence in your words, taking us to a moment in time mingled with endless days, and love unmatched. So beautifully woven into a tapestry of life... yes, worn as a dress of skin so soft.
