The last vestiges of the day fade so gracefully away, And rest dormant among a slumbering conscience, A new day begins when the sun goes down, A new day not of this world. A f o r g o t t e n m a z e o f m e m o r i e s is left in your subconscience, Memories you n e v e r k n e w y o u h a d, This harbors in the possibility that a n o t h e r w o r l d e x i s t s beyond the point at which you fall asleep; another world you unknowingly live in. Focused on this side of the gates of slumber, You forget the other half of your world. Where your soul wanders in a n o t h e r p e r s o n s b o d y, living as that person is. That person who remains awake, or a person who sleeps fast, too. Perhaps you are in tune with thier conscience, Perhaps o t h e r s b e c o m e t h e l i f e o f y o u, Have you ever considered that your life is a dream you've never awakened from? Perhaps the point at which you awake will be at the moment of your death. At which time you shall awake in your warm, soft bed in heaven, perhaps you shall awake on the other side, Beyond the gates of slumber, the world you merely see glimpes of, The world where those tiny voices come from. The world you call your " d r e a m s ". -EagleScorpion CAMERADO, I GIVE YOU MY HAND! I GIVE YOU MY LOVE MORE PRECIOUS THAN MONEY, I GIVE YOU MYSELF BEFORE PREACHING OR LAW; WILL YOU GIVE ME YOURSELF? WILL YOU COME TRAVEL WITH ME? SHALL WE STICK BY EACH OTHER AS LONG AS WE LIVE? -Walt Whitman |

"Have you ever considered that your life is a dream you've never awakened from?" Oh yes I've thought that it has to be that way. In my dreams I am so strong and sure of myself. I hope that it is real and what I am here is just a split second that seems to last forever. |
