Poem -
A warmer sporran
(This one would never have been written without Marion Price's Dreams)
If I wore a warmer sporran,
would there still be
these dreams?
Dreams I cannot map
by the books alone,
they hold no signs
I can assign meaning to,
but yet, they have bearing
beyond the mind.
Asleep or awake does not differ,
always they are at the periphery
of thought, knowing, feeling.
I will not ignore them,
for it is by the hunches
they induce,
that understanding filters through
the event horizon
into the known universe.
These dreams warm the soul,
the body, the mind,
the dreams are the pathfinders
into the wilderness
I could not grasp before.
Welcome to my life, my dreams.
Help me walk the labyrinth
in beauty.

This really speaks to me. I am rather obsessed with dreams. I enjoyed the almost methodical contemplation towards your own journey and dreaming. How dreams seep into your day, I know trauma can trigger lucid images that catch you off guard. So paving away through certain dreams can hopefully lead to a healthy mindset once again. This is what I took from this fab writeĀ

Thanx, Gwen. To understand the dreams, the wife and me, we use astrology and Tarot a lot (to be honest, she does and explains to meš). It helps to solve the life we led, so far. At 61 about timeš

Really enjoyed this write John...speaks of a journey of personal enlightenment...x
Thank you, it really was triggered by your piece Dreams (and a bunch of old Scottish men doing drums and pipes in kilts with a sporranš¤). Needed a recapitulation of everything.Ā
John, a poem that seeks attention and leaps off the page for any reader.
Dreams can offer so much hope and the polar opposite whenever broken or dashed.
An engaging journey you have written and written well, to set one's spirit free. And one that time, may hopefully tell and graciously deliver.
I wish you well sir and simply enjoy life and the good virtues it can bestow.Ā

Hi, Shaun, hanx for the kind words. It has been a ride, yes, of over thirty years to undo the first thirty years. And yes, finally I feel able to glad to be alive. Have you ever seen the movie Short Circuit ending with: Johnny Five is alive? That's the way it feelsš¤šš
