Poem
The Five Secrets" ?????? I had this amazing dream ..... I had this dream. I dreamt I was in this room and there were bookcases from floor to ceiling on all four walls, with no windows. The bookcases were filled with thousands of books. The room was very dusty and I could smell the books. and I found myself wondering how am I going to get out of here? I no sooner had that thought when I heard a voice telling me the only way for you to get out of here is if you read every single book. I thought this will take forever but as soon as I picked up one of the books. I realized I had read that book already. I am an avid reader and read at least one book a day and have been doing this since I was a child of 12 years of age. I have always had this thirst for knowledge. as I reached for another. I soon realized that I had already read all the books in the room. As I opened each book I would get a flashback of the book and remember it like the first time I read it. As soon as I had the thought that I had read them all I was transported to a room directly above the room I was in. This room was very bright and at the far end of the room was the silhouette of a man with shoulder length hair sitting at a table, he waved his hand beckoning me to come. I walked over to the table and he handed me a writing pad and a beautiful fountain pen then vanished. The pen was amazing it was completely encrusted with diamonds, and more beautiful than any jewellery I had ever seen. I unscrewed the cap and the nib was glistening gold with a very large diamond in the centre. I took the pad and begin to write my name. The ink that flowed from the pen was liquid gold and flowed as smooth as a hot knife over butter. While I was admiring this beautiful pen the ceiling began to lift over the table revealing a flight of stairs going up into the sky. I walked toward the stairs and just as I reached it I heard this voice telling me that in order for me to leave this place I needed to learn five secrets. The voice said as you learn a secret write it down on the pad and proceed up the stairs to the next secret. Continue until you have all five secrets written on the pad then read them back and you will be free to leave. I proceeded up the stairs. As each secret was revealed I wrote it on my pad with this magnificent pen and the ink flowed like liquid gold smoother than you can imagine. The higher I went up the stairs the brighter it became, so bright I was having difficulty seeing. Finally I had all five secrets written on my pad when I heard a voice telling me to read the five secrets. By this time my surroundings were so bright I really had difficulty seeing. The ink that flowed like liquid gold from this beautiful pen was so shiny that in this bright light I could no longer read it. The voice said "Read The Five Secrets." "Read The Five Secrets", "READ THE FIVE SECRETS " The voice became louder and more demanding but, I could not see the writing I began to perspire and breathe very heavy and in my panic to read it. I WOKE UP! (Sweating and out of breath) Even though I wrote The Five Secrets on the page I have no memory of what they were. I think I would like to be hypnotized to see if I could get back in the dream and somehow reveal The Five Secrets. This was such a beautiful dream that I think this would make a great movie. I would also like to have that pen, it was way beyond beautiful. I have this fertile mind that never stops creating, even while I am sleeping. I had such a feeling of peace and tranquillity while climbing those stairs I was disappointed when I woke up. I may never know The Five Secretes but I am hoping for another dream like that.
