Finding The Way Back Into Dreamland

2008 This is another favorite

MY HYPERACTIVE MIND’S 

BRAIN WAVES DANCE

SKIPS AND PLAY

CROWDED  IDEAS THOUGHTS OPINIONS

MEMORIES

PAINFUL TO ADMIT

ESPECIALLY TO MY

HEART

MY DREAMS AROUND THE EDGES

 A BIT FRAYED

 

 

 EVEN SWEET MORPHEUS AVERTS HIS HEAD

 FROM MY SLEEPFILLED PLEAS

TO COME VISIT ME

HE WILL NOT GIVE ME A GLIMPSE

WHERE MY SOUL MEANDERS

DURING THE DARKEST HOURS

OF NIGHT

 BUT MY LEAVINGS ARE

THREADBARE TAPESTRIES

HANGING ONTO PAST NOCTURNAL FANTASIES

BY A STRING

 

MY DREAMS ARE

BARREN ROOMS

ECHOING THE DESIRE

AS THE HOLLOW FOOTSTEPS STRIKE THE FLOOR

TO BE FURNISHED

WITH DREAMS OF EVEN A SIMPLE KIND

COMMON OCCURRENCES

TO THE FORTUNATE ONES AKIN TO BREATHING

THEIR BODIES DORMANT FOR A FEW HOURS EACH DAY

THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

FREED TO RUN WITH

UNFATHOMABLE IDEAS

COLLECTED DURING THE DAY

 

 

YET IT IS THE DAYLIGHT DREAMERS  

INCITING ENVY IN MY SPIRIT

AWESTRUCK WITH LIGHT BRINGERS

OH MOST GLORIOUS OF SCHEMERS

FILLED WITH DELIGHT

EXPOSED TO THESE OFTEN UNDERESTIMATED

 ETHEREAL PEOPLE

FILLING US WITH AN UNCOMMON WISDOM

AND INSIGHT

 

WE PONTIFICATE AND REVEL

IN WEE TANGIBLE DREAMS

THEY ARE THE VISIONARIES

ILLUMINATING

VAST UNDERTAKINGS

DREAMED UP IN AN

UNCHARTED SHADOW WORLD

GRAND ADVENTURES SURFING

THEIR MINDS WAVES

 

HEY CONSCIOUSLY CAST AWAY

THIS HARSHLY JOLTING REALITY

FOR JUST A FRACTION OF TIME

SYNCHRONIZING SPIRIT AND MIND

CALLING OUT THE DIVINE

WANDERING OFF INTO UNEXPLORED REGIONS

OF IMAGINATION

NOT RESTRICTING THEMSELVES WITH BOUNDARIES OR RULES

 

LEAVING THE FRUSTRATION OF THE

MUNDANE

 

 

OUR COMMON ESSENCE IS TO BE

DISCOVERED IN THEIR DREAMS

BEAUTIFUL EPIPHANIES

BECKON THESE ADVENTURERS

IN A VERY CONSCIOUS STREAM

FULL OF WONDER THE SUBLIME

THE WHAT IFS THE

NEVER FATHOMED BEFORE AND NEVER SINCE

AS EVERY DREAMER HAS THEIR OWN

UNIQUELY THUMBPRINTED DREAMS

FIRMLY ENTRENCHED IN THEIR SOULS

 

 

THOSE OF US PLODDING HEAVILY BURDENED BY THE MUNDANE

ARE ENVIOUS  AS THEIR MINDS

TAKING FLIGHT

TIMELESS

FLUID

UNCONFINED

UNRESTRAINED

NO WEAPONS DEVISED BY MANKIND

CAN KEEP THESE LUCID THOUGHTS  AT BAY

FREEDOM SHINES OUT OF THEIR EYES

IF WE RECOGNIZE IT

 

METAMORPHOSING THE UNATTAINABLE

INTO THE POSSIBLE

THE PROBABLE

MIND SEEKERS

EVER GENTLY ADVANCING

 THE GOOD OF ALL LIVING CREATURES

NO SELF AGGRANDIZEMENT

THE EMBODIMENT OF HUMILITY

THEIR DREAMS ENCRYPTED WILL ALL HUMANITY

ONLY THEY HOLD THE KEY TO CIPHER

AND SHARE THEIR INVISIBLE BOUNTY

 

TEASING AND URGING

 US TO TAG ALONG

TO THE THRESHOLD OF UNKNOWN

TEMPTING US TO  LOSE OUR FOOTING AND FALL

HEADLONG INTO THE  

LAND OF DREAMS

THEY SPEAK OF LIFE , ULTRA LIFE

 

DREAMERS DO NOT NOTICE  EXTRANEOUS THINGS

EVER AWARE THAT MATERIAL SUBSTANCES

THE REST OF US CLAIM AS REALITY

IS ACTUALLY THE DREAM

LOVELY MINDS  FULL OF SUNSHINE

 SOULS STRIPPED OF ALL BAGGAGE

NOT BURIED IN MURKEY GREY

 

DUST OFF THE WELCOME MAT OF YOUR IMAGINATION

INVITE THE DREAMERS IN

FEEL THE GENESIS

AN AWAKENING

DAWNING  OF A SOUL’S NEW DAY

TRANSFORMATION HEALING

DISCOUNT NOT THE IMAGINERS, VISIONARY THE MYSTICS

THEY HOLD THE KEY TO OUR HOPE

OUR FUTURE

 

MANY OF US  HAVE LOST

THE MAP

LEADING TO THE LAND OF DREAMS

LEFT IT BEHIND IN CHILDHOOD

AS WE EXITED FROM

OUR INNOCENCE INTO

INTO THE LAND OF WOULD HAVE, COULD HAVES AND SHOULD HAVES

 

THEY BRAVE SOULS ,

 REFUSE TO LEAVE THE MAP BEHIND

BRINGING IT FORWARD INTO

THE NEXT TIME

ENTERING A FOREIGN TERRITORY

WHERE RESPONSIBLE HUMANS RESIDE

THEY  REFUSE TO GIVE UP THEIR KNOWLEDGE

WHILE WE STAND ASIDE

OUR MOUTHS AGAPE AT THE COURAGE OF THEIR

WAYS.

 

WITHOUT THESE DREAMS/DREAMERS WE PERISH

OUR LIVES  THOUGH NEVER MEANINGLESS

EVEN AS WE FORGET TO DREAM

 FEELING AS IF THEY WERE FOR NAUGHT

I HAVE A MAP DEAR DREAMER THAT I AM

ANXIOUS TO RETRIEVE

PLEASE HELP ME ON MY JOURNEY

TO  REDISCOVER DREAMLAND

AGAIN
