The storms are about tonight,
As I turn and kick in my bed.
Residue of dreams follows me,
To the solace of awakening,
And I am intoxicated,
By the mere thought of words.
How strange to open drowsy eyes,
To the sound of the wind,
Calling my name from far reaching realms.
How it stirs things deep within,
To see the rain tapping at my window,
Drops throw themselves at the glass,
Waiting like serenading lovers,
To cover my shoulders,
While walking through trees,
And flirting with the lightning.
I follow many paths,
And change nightly.

I am impressed! I get lost in my dreams - to the extent that they often become like memories. Who knows but that we don't just enter another actual world when we sleep! Awesome, beautiful work.

Maybe we indeed do go to another world when we sleep...wouldn't that be lovely? A beautiful piece of work.

The heart of you

It would seem that you've always had that gift for imagery and thought.  The way that you can achieve such depth.

Thank you.

I hate that...I know what you mean. I wonder why that is?
