The Dream Part One

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Salute.



A piece to serenade your thoughts as I reluctantly wake at 4.35 am.
Does a voice whisper these poetic undertones as I dream?

Echoes
Reverberating from a World
Unseen.

Impressions of dreams I've just dreamt I thought I'd share.
Maybe they do!
Salute.


Every night
Before I dream.

I silently command my
Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels.

To take me beyond the
Black Darkness
I always see.

As I close my deep brown eyes.

To use their invisible hands
To tear away the dark rim
Before my ever watchful
Twin pyres.

To show me
What lies truly beyond.

For me
To venture into newer
Undiscovered lands.

To see.

The bright lights of two suns
The quartet of multicoloured rainbows.

Illuminating a purple-hued sky.

A place where no one
No longer dies.

A paradise of ever swirling winds of a whispered profound love.

Perpetually
Emanating from a deep divine.

Just always watching from
High up Above.

A sanctuary lost forever
To many of the living
Within the forgiving reeds of time.

A place to be reunited
With dear old family or friends
Who never made it to the end.

To sit beside the ever-flowing
Holy River.

And then
Watch through a silver
Scrying Mirror.

As the real world
Slowly disappears.

To walk through luscious
Green grass to the
Eternal City.

To embrace a new realm
Free from fears Or pity.

This I beseech the Silent Dark.

Before once again I am lost
For a few hours.

As I reluctantly board
Morpheus's Dark Ark
Of Dreams.

Stepping silently into
Newly conjured
Worlds
Unseen.
