On the Trail - Prelude, Dream I
I lay so seemingly far away from here
In the sleeping bag of my dreams
Where ever do I come from
Going exactly where, I wonder
Especially seeing nothing... is
As was thought it to be seen.
Chilled, wrapped in safety blankets
Of imprinted thoughts, and memories known
Mansions many, waiting
Through sleepy mind’s open door
Ready for re-visiting, enter free
As free to roam.
___*___
Release I say!
Yes, release this sad Soul’s connection
For more forward fancy flights.
So off again, I can go again
Into unknown, crazy, enlightened newer places
Leaving here Moon guarding
Another peaceful, wintry night.
Knowing well, in the end
I will have only found in my expanded Self
Aspects in infinity's wrap
Of strange disturbances.
Oh... why then challenge so, balance's peace
Why bother old safe dreams with some new
Does the river ever end, is the ocean that near
Am I one of many, or only few?
Chasing traces.
___*___
Ages have I camped in such strange places
Home itself is now
Just a figment of what?
A greater picture
Or just a stamp on an unaddressed envelope?
Waiting for sleep, on a comfortable cot.
Patient for the universe to give up its true addresses
Where Infinity’s chuckles rise into glorious laughter
Knowing well, the envelope has already reached home
Long before.
It’s to me, the We
Please this time, forget me not.
