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
