walking the surreal

0 posted 2004-06-17 03:30 PM


some nights
when i find myself alone
the still quiet of the house
enfolds me in its ease
and i lay upon the bed
enveloped in the dark
freed from familial duties

my eyes flutter shut

i shed my skin
and my spirit soars free
exploring endless paths
leading to endless possibilities

i loose my inhabitions
taking my life into my hands
allowing my essence to surface
exposing the truth of me
venturing into the "what ifs . . ."
wihtout fear of consequence
spinning a world of fantasy

and it is enough,
this occassional tryst
with passions unquenched,
to silence the call
of the wanderlust in me
and allow my safe return
to the light of day
in a land of responsibility

S.A.T.

The whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart.

Susan - how well I resonate with this poem - you describe it much better than I could but I have traveled that journey - Paul
