The Slumberer

What's behind it all...

Sleep like you were ushered into a broken slumber,
everyone has departed from the room.

Dream loudly and vividly,
flush out the thoughts that kept you stirring at night.

Fix yourself and break open your betraying mind.

It taunts you like a distant lover,
that will never utter the words you would easily swallow whole.

So reach inside, tear it apart,
the past are just pieces now,
strung together,
unsettled and unchambered.

The thoughts will flurry,
flutter and fall blankly to the ground.

Scatter them across the landscape,
into forms sufficient for tomorrow's rainshower.

You voice so crystal clear, that is the beauty of your words here...everything is a cycle and so well articulated in this piece...make the best of the bad - the highs of the lows...superb x

It sounds like a recurring bad dream that plays over and over.
Would love to know what's in your head here with this one?
Sometime I guess, am wrong and then it just creates a bad scene. :)

It's an underlying theme in some of my works. In the beginning, I'm referring to a non objective sense of reality. Everything is just as is until people give it a nature of being or power/ power over them. The last two lines are about simply governing what you desire in life, plain and simple... And that can be done after the realization of this concept of reality is processed... Phew! There you have it.. K.

I try not to look at it as good/bad.

Well, that was simple enough.
Thank you.
The reason I thought it was recurring was because I thought tomorrow's rain shower was symbolic of living through the same storm, again, tomorrow. Like a recurring bad dream.
I appreciate you taking the time to explain. :-)

It is in a way... Life is very painful for some, for some the pain stays longer with others. Thereby continuing to live in a "rainshower."

You're welcome as always.
