Cryptic
Sleepy moments come
Drowsy in a bit
Siesta floating free
Body groggy
Mind in a blur grip
Sleep overtakes
Falling into a deep
Yet floating away
A dry autumn leaf
Traveling in time
Yet out of tune
With reality
Journeys far away
Beyond the walls of space
Seeing bold splendour
Moving at the speed of thought
No walls to contain
Imagination rules fine sleep
No barriers to knowing
Beyond sensory perception
Seeing yet unseeing
Come to grips to glimpse
Yet seldom remembering
Upon awakening
Seems so strange
This reminiscing
Upon things often forgotten
Memory seems so vague
Not recalling anything
Lost significance on waking
Aware of awareness
But lack memory
A dreamer's vocabulary
Then awake to hints
Only vague strains left
Completely disappearing
Yet in this forgetfulness
A certain constancy of purpose
To refresh the body-soul
Now awareness comes slowly
Upon this higher promontory
To bestow sure faith in destiny
So I awake to be aware
Of intent and passion
Where grace abides to set free
