The Twilight Gate of Dreams
The voice of a cold stream flowing calls me and dark skies float in my mind. A
fallen blanket on the floor of my room where I lay on my bed waiting, for
the night to reveal images. I am full of dead voices whispering. Shapes, wispy
no form reaching out. The calmness beckons me. I hesitate, then let go.
Death so meaningless. Headstones, wet with trembling soft tears. Time past
is eternally present in my dream. The images drifting disturb the dust of time.
I fall through the twilight gates of dreams and all is stillness. Shadows hover
in silence. My dream self whirls in the quiet breeze of forever solitude. I am
crying and searching for something unseen.
The vine of life grasps and clings to me, the fingers of green curling. Weeping
shadows of death entwining my soul. Oh, listen to the loud lamenting, so
deafening.Leaves murmur, birds chirp and my heart quivers. I stand at a tomb.
Strokes of pain, memories stabbing. I am lost in this dream. Then. dawn
breaks and my dream shatters in a million pieces floating away and I am left
with an open wound bleeding in the sunlight.
