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
