posted in respect of a poem in Insights called 'The Dangers of Sleep' by 'spritrider87


Dreamland

Where do we go, when we go to sleep,
Some say, to a ‘mind made’ land.
But I feel that we’re drawn, from our bodies at night,
To a place that our souls understand.

Maybe we need, a refreshment of kind,
Relief from our bodily stand.
And only in trance can tranquility find,
As we glide through our ‘slumbering’ land.

Sometimes we remember, what dreams we have seen,
Or so we believe, when we wake.
But nobody knows where our minds travel to,
Or the pathways our journey did take.

But I know that my sleep, renews body and soul,
So I’m certain, as certain can be.
I must have been somewhere, with glorious power,
To replenish the ‘life force’ in me.

So maybe, while sleeping, we all return home,
To the place where all people are free,
And bathe in the pool, of the essence of life,
Yes, drift in its wonderful sea.

No wonder our thoughts are all lost by the morn’,
With eons of memories entwined.
We’re drunk on the pleasures of millions of souls,
On everyone’s lives, we have dined.

Now I think that our ‘living’, has part in this feast,
We’re all here to gather the vine.
And when we return to our essence at last,
Our lives should have sweetened the wine.

Ivor G Davies

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.
