I Seek Her Every Night

Chanting from the spirit world enters my soul as I sleep, enslaving me fully into her familiar beat, I dance with abandon, tossing my hair, flipping my feet, in childlike wildness.
Boundless in its pursuit of me, my inner voice incorporates itself into my dream, terribly ethereal in true spiritual form, bringing my real self into the higher realms, ones not fully reached until death.
My joyful soul is soaring now, spinning, and whirling, transforming me into a dervish, insanely happy to have found my tribe, loving my inner sweet pureness which is gentled out of me nightly.
I seek her every night, my sleeping day soul, in my dream state, and she keeps me in her warm, loving grasp, replenishing me in bits and pieces, in smallish intervals, showing me my true delight.
I embrace my dream state with the innocence of a unicorn, and rainbow hope, knowing her truth.

Thank you M.L. I do no work any more, as Trixie, my muse is very bossy and arrogant and slaps me around if I try to add my own input.

This is lovely. I especially enjoyed the joyful dervish whirling and the line about "loving my inner sweet pureness which is gentled out of me nightly". After being exposed to the harsh ugly stuff of life, it is a process to get back to the sweet state of our pure childhood innocence and wonder... and I adore the idea of this being "gentled out" every night. Sort of like "coaxed" but softer, somehow. ;)

I'm like that, too. My husband says that a tornado could come & take me away and I'd never wake up! ;P

I love my sleep state. My husband says once I go out, I am fully gone. There would be no way to awaken me. He claims I am not even there.
