I don't dream much anymore
My head hits the pillow, that's it
Book by the bedside unread
As dream weavers come to me
Standing there to check me out
Calling my name, I say nought
As they find me fast asleep
Touch my hands and read my palm
Quietly whisper in my ear
I dream of flying away now
So push the covers aside
Hold on as we slip away
Flying in the night time sky
I don't even wonder why
I don't feel heat or the cold
Behold I'm a wise hawk
Or a soft billowing cloud
I am part of creation
First life in a tiny shell
I see the meaning of life
Then the dark night brightens up
I'm back in bed, book unread
Dawn is winking through the curtain
T'was more than dreams, I'm certain

I like this very much. I like the "dream weavers come for me...and how they read the narrator's palms.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful dream (or place) they took the sleeper! I will guess by the time he or she completely wakes the "meaning of life" will be forgotten though. That's what happens to me if I dream something important (or think it is while half awake), and I wake and think "I'll never forget that," but I do!
What a wonderful flight...waking dreams can be better than sleep ones
ReplyDeleteA tender tale told well!
