Behind my eyes framed in a dream a beautiful illusionary sketch created by the power of one unseen but present in love holds my adoring stare till I myself seem as a dream on this platform of compacted dust. Corners, no corners, to turn different ways and I’m drawn to horizons blurred and unclear yet there to be seen in my wish to be your breath of desire and will to survive. The frame is of gold like the colour of soul imbedded with gems of personality traits to further enhance my determined stance to remain a devotee of all I see, feel. Stand with me here next to my dream; can you see in the sky the blue of my eyes with no blink or flutter, no looking askew, from what a heart needs to be real? Now I lay me down to sleep. If I should die before I awake know deft is the hand of the creator who draws from soul the intrinsic truth and paints such a beautiful sketch known to me to not simply be a one-time illusionary dream. Don’t wake me up; I’m sleeping to be the lady you see in your dreams! |

Only a fool would rouse you. I heard this as a rhyme though it isn't, such was the flow. Enjoyed |

RSWells - Thanks for the read. So in my sleep I now reply, "the rhythm of awareness touches base but just can't rhyme or align in harmony with the norms and forms of this reality." |

Very well done!  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

Thanks Dixie, Martie, and TD, for your kind responses. I seem to have written far too much so today is a clearing day in preparation for ... well, I sure don't know - not yet at any rate. |
