Dreamwords

Silence settles to sleep.
It carries me on wings of dream-
               to fall to mystic seas, where
                            gallant cry
                                    from ocean guides,
               combine with
pacifying tide and-
               octopi pocket down
                         in sandy waters, underground.
Shelled and crusteacous dive from
mirths of solid surface-
               to ride the claps of
                                  lapsing waves-over
                                  the swaying beds of
                                            coral made.
               There, tiny schools in buoyant pull-
                                  spool together, wading through.
As midnight casts its mirrored ball, across
                the ocean's surface wall,
                                  spirits gowned
                                with gathered night-
                             speak dreamwords in mystic flight.
