A Vision In the Dreamtime
For weeks
I have been followed,
they mirror
my every move …
and now
I’m dreaming them
they drifted in
and separated me
from my bed,
whisking me from my sheets
they fly me,
to curl the other place
soaring on dreams
brushing just enough to touch,
my feet stroll medieval turrets
and like walking ripples
across a lake, I glide
I swept my hand through stars
that floated in fingers of memory
all held,
in a gondola of wings
(dragonflies,
big as dragons)
they call me in wimples
serenade me to cathedrals
within canopy’s of weeping willows,
I am gobsmacked
in their phantasmic enchantments
that undulate vapoured mist,
with feeling
(I’m mesmerized
and burning)
as I,
sucked into vortexes of spinning visions,
and splayed out on magenta clouds,
leaning over
I tore it off,
like cotton balls
and floated it to play
on whiskers of wind
and when sliding over
this light phantastic,
winged cavaliers cradle me
and feather me back to earth …
I awoke to curtains
dancing through mosaics of light,
transforming to spread wings
and lay lace wreaths
over the arms of time
but in the reality of dimension,
in the unknown that is the surreal
swaddled in the wings of a dragonfly,
I’m whispering sleep
to the Dreamtime
