When I'm awake,
moving through disparate worlds
searching for a pulse
to slake my clinging yearning thirst
for life's rivulets of sustenance,
I never weep,
yet I awake at times
with tears upon my pillow wet,
as if it's rained within my dreams,
in pains enough
to rouse my tired soul
from its paradise of sleep.

Succinct and nicely done. Dreams are the safety valve of the mind.

icebox - Leaving the paradise of sleep is certainly reason enough to cry. Your dreams were raining love and your soul responded with emotion. Well, I don't know of course but that's my opinion for what it's worth. Good writing as usual.

Ever thought that they might also be tears of joy? I believe when we sleep and dream our souls recharge their love energy ...

Besides this my own point of view, I can relate also to your take on it. This is an incredibly profound and beautiful write, dear Charlie.

Love,

Sleep...a blessing and a mystery. I think Margharita is right, as good an explanation as any on sleep. Enjoyed.

these days, I search for that pulse all the time.

Yes it has to be the rain in my dreams that does it. Yeah.
