Oblivion's Promise

A surreal walk through the subconscious?

day fades unto night, out of sight 

she lingers still, in slumber tight 

yet, spirit takes leave of earthly form 

gently seeks, to escape alone 

into world where heart; wanders from mind 

across realm where sense of five, combine 

seamless; merged into one eye 

where all is one, beneath one sky 

* * * ************************************** * * * 

she follows soul; through wind, through cold 

though body lay, she walks abold 

fearing naught, nor least distraught 

surreal relief, day's tears forgot 

beckons soul's form, sweet lady trust! 

for soul knows what is; what be done, must! 

enter realm of dreams; promised bliss 

trust spirit still!- in search of peace 

* - * - * - * - * 

streams flow abound; wildflowers nod 

return to day's terror? daresay, shall not! 

for spirit found soul; destiny twice told 

naught hinders; should fate reign to withhold? 

solitude's sweet nectar, eases thirst 

for selfhood's sake, heart abandons hearse 

amidst sleepsmiles; she, horizon's bride 

succumbs to passion- submerged with tide 

* - * - * - * - * 

above her, skies part; blessings befall 

onslaught, slow drops; crumble stone walls 

peace is hers, true, thus 'moons of blue' 

eternal hopes linger, much amused 

for what becomes of soul, minion of demise? 

what becomes of spirit, which fails to rise? 

day's solitude, yields to dreamy embrace 

spirit's soul, soul's spirit- by night, interlace 

* - * - * - * - * 

though peace departs, once body awakens 

faith does stand; for one thought forsaken 

for dreams do beckon, if only by night 

solemn promise, dusk beholds; dark brings light 

silence overcomes; eyes closed, unseeing 

listen! heartbeats slowing; soul is fleeing 

mind, heart merge; thoughts slip faraway 

hush now! dreamtime- her soul slips away 

* * * ************************************** * * * 

day fades unto night, out of sight 

she lingers still, in slumber tight 

yet, spirit takes leave of earthly form 

gently seeks, to escape alone 

into world where heart; wanders from mind 

across realm where sense of five, combine 

seamless; merged into one eye 

where all is one, beneath one sky
