Sleepwalking through Dreams

Sleepwalkers
All of us

Switched on to the
Dreaming
Switched off to
The whole shebang

Diggity Dang
The whole shebang!

All but a
Reflection
Of perception
With anticipated
Perfection

What we feel is
Percieved
Never to be
Relieved
Of life and it's deeds

We sleep on
Eyes closed and blind
As actuality passes by

Goodnight

Recently I learned that you can actually wake up someone that is sleepwalking, especially if they are heading off a cliff or getting about to be crushed by a truck.. but sometimes we prefer to hold on to the idea that sleepwalking (or sleeptexting.. maybe sleepreviewing too LOL) is enough.. Some good meanderings of your beautiful mind you have shared with us KWP. :)

Well I think I been sleepwalking all my life - I have little spurts of awakeness but you know they just don't last ... Could you perhaps catch me and slap me into an enlightened state please ... :-)

Oh and thanks for your words chick - love, love, love x

I love the flow and rhythm of this poem. Also very relatable. Very well done

A sing-song of dreams and truth in every note! How moral can a dream be, how spiritual can it reach out its hands and say, don't miss a second when conscious or otherwise.. but if you have to choose, touch what you can and savour it. Perhaps? Has anyone actually proved that we're not awake when dreaming or that when awake we're actually switched off to reality?

Love the tongue in cheek, and, much appreciate the to-ing and fro-ing of your thoughts.

Hey there EJ Chick - thanks so much for your time - i like your summation of the words - given me more to think about - hope your night is fab xx

[emmajoy]

As long as i didn't bewilder you as much as I usually bewilder myself!

[KWP]

I followed along ... If only by a wisp in the midnight breeze ... The essence of thought caught ;-)

Laughing into my night :)

i like the satirical bend in this .. i also like that it can be taken on more than one level .. our consciousness is certainly based on our own perception .. we automatically accept them as "truth" .. we also allow others to pull the wool over our "eyes" and are happy to live in that dream .. whatever it may be .. and the search for truth can be exhausting and a fond goodnight is welcome respite ;) such a fine and exciting brain you have :))

Goodnight to you Boss Lady, you twisted me round your little writing finger there and took me for a ride until yes I saw the light!! Its time to wake up to the actuality, forget the before just concentrate on the now and see that light, no more sleeping, no more goodnight, become awake to true reality :)

[KWP]

geez, we need to wake up, don't we?

what a message and created with such ideal alliteration and rhythm...

like the heartbeat of a once generation that had woken up at least for awhile...and saw all the wrongness...then it went back to sleep, like the rest.

and that sleepy daze lingers on.

[KWP]

Like the heartbeat of a generation - I like that - cheers Jacob X

Oh the feels! To read something like this after I woke up ( I woke up pretty late :P) makes me want to jump around with joy or snuggle with my pillow.

Alright, serious time!

All but a
Reflection
Of perception
With anticipated
Perfection .... Aphorism to lead the life by!

What we feel is
Perceived
Never to be
Relieved
Of life and it's deeds.... something I should start accepting and many others, too.

We sleep on
Eyes closed and blind
As actuality passes by ..... The beauty a poet can address like a mirage in a desert.

Amazing Beth! Loved it! :D

[KWP]

You are such a gorgeous angel :-) thanks for reading and yes I agree with your words - I still got like about a zillion things to learn or let go before I bound around in the field of nothingness that contains the everywhen X :-) LOVE x

[Sindu]

Learning phase never completes :)
