Mind swirling, tumbling
Downward spiral
Floating, drifting

DREAMS pent up – FRUSTRATION
Venting FEELINGS – CREATION

MUSIC rhythmically repeating
Mastering MELODIES
Chords
MEANING

Option to choose – Day, or night?
Effortless dream… or face the fight

Challenge of day’s reality – BORING
Sink beneath mind’s upper layer – SOARING

Active night – flutter eyelashes
Butterflies prance on wind-like ashes

From scene to scene to scene I flow
Not unlike movie picture-show

Waking, shaking… adventures of night
Sight, adjusting to daylight’s harsh light

Spirits traversing through planes of existence
Drowning droning monotony – reality’s persistence

I wake in morning saying “Oh no – not again”
Having BEEN HERE BEFORE… once… and then
