Dreamland

Whispers of memories Prismatic moments Waving to no one From a speeding train Smiles ringed by haloes Clouds shredded in torment Standing nude and alone Drenched in inky black rain Flash of lightning Crackle of thunder Shards of crystal Piercing my brain Remnants dim, of recollection Skittering off to hiding places Leaving disjointed images… Sparse, puzzling traces Awakening!…Bewilderment! Details scatter, to vanish As water glides silkily Down dream’s endless drain Turn over, sweat drenched pillow Make futile efforts to remember….and then Sleep creeps anew from it’s cryptic keep And you drift back to dreamland again
