today i had a frightening dream,
awoke in a sweat, and a silent scream,
for i dreamt i flew above the lands,
with a notebook and invisible ink pen in my hands

a harsh reality notebook did appear
within the clouds of deepening despair
and it took me there, invited me to sketch
what some choose not to see or hear

and suddenly, in a split second
i caught myself falling
spiralling, nosediving
into a sea of harsh inhumanity's reality

when just as suddenly, an updraft lifted me
and i felt the rush of gentle thoughts
set my soul safely upon a golden cloud
of peaceful tranquility

and in the moments that followed
i found i could fly higher
by putting my heart at the controls,
than a grounded mind ever allowed

and tonight
i fly in peaceful heal
in spite of what
that notebook does reveal

You don't just fly sweet lady~you soar!

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...

You bring such images to life, giving a lift to all who've felt that spiraling drive. This is a joy to read. Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

I have my worst dreams...while awake. Somehow I have a feeling that yours may run that way too.
