Notes About The Poem

Invincible Dreams - Collaboration With White Wolf

As I incorporate colours with images in my dreams,
Still it’s more the emotional attachments that set the scenes.
Like an onlooker in another world of landscapes,
I am in control as I pull back the invisible drapes.

My mind wanders from my body so light
And flies off with birds into hot summer nights
I choose the scenes I want to participate in
I choose who will tonight be my fiend or kin

Why just last night I was challenged in combat,
Defending in Kung Fu but I never attack,
Until of course they make the first move,
But in dreams it is easy never to lose.

I'm a whirling dervish, dancing on my toes
Not fighting, but awing my friends and foes
While moving my mind wanders far away
I dance out of me, leave only my body to stay

     You will often find yourself in strange situations,
     Sometimes a dream will turn in various stipulations.

I commented on Rick's page on this wonderful collaboration. Great theme with a great message Darren. Dreams can be good and dreams can be bad, but in the end...they are just dreams.
