Night Realms...............................................................dedicated to Hope

In the loop of my frozen diamond view,
   Crimson, gold, or translucent blue.
Facets of color shimmer and dance,
Where do I look; slow down or advance?

I fly to destinations of peril,
   Or circle around an empty barrel.
Cruise under an oceans nighttime realm,
Viewing flint figures from the night ships helm.

One dream; personal future in visions,
   Alters my course with flowing decisions.
Flickers of thought augment the picture,
Still squinting eyelids make out the feature.

Split reality from nightmarish dreams,
   Flee from darkness! or embrace the scenes?
Spreading your arms while trying to fly,
Or cover your face and try not to die!

I've lived a lifetime in my sleeping nights,
   Cast into prison, then understood my rights!
Pondered this learning of my tomorrow,
It lifts my spirit from depths of sorrow!

I'll always seek messages from the mountain,
   Flowing revelation; gift of the fountain.
It rescues my spirit; and grants me peace,
Renewing my contract; eternal lend lease.
