Spiritual Sleep

Steel waters run deep                    
beneath the eyes of
slumbered sleep

captured heart edged
faintly with gold
seen of eyes
reflection foretold

of lives in distant
aching shudders
sorrowful death or
brilliance of lovers

Still waters run deep
beneath the eyes of
spiritual sleep
realm of slumber

  1. Still waters do run Deep Renee… great poem set to such a different picture… We each of us see something different within our reflection. And those viewing us see something different again. ~ Sue x

    1. Thanks Sue! I actually take great stock in dreams and my perception of others and not sure I would call it second sight but was trying to convey how I feel regarding it. You take is quite good as well. So true.

    1. Nice to see you here, Rick. I put lots of stock in dreams. I’m not sure why but I feel they tell a person something that it is meant to tell if you are open to paying attention to them. Thank you and aloha.

      1. i agree – dreams, or our dream world is much more aware of our waking world than our waking world is of our dream world. …and exactly, if we do not pay attention in our waking world to what our dream world offers us, our dream world will slip off into other things. however if we do pay attention – or at least try to, with respect and awareness, then what our dream world has to offer is almost limitless in value to our waking world.

        it simply makes sense. everything our being (as in the body and mind) does or is, is in some way there to help our life – that is the intent. dreams fit into this sense of being the same as a beating heart. …and we can help or hinder it. …and dreams (our dream world) know(s) what we think about it and how we treat what it offers. …and… in fact it listens very well to what we say not only in our waking world to the world around us, but what we say in our waking world to our dream world. the construction of our dream world is simply beautiful as i see it. it is stunningly spot on in many ways. we simply have to listen and it will help us. that is very amazing (imo).

        oops. got off on a tangent. fun to do tho. aloha.
