Reacquaintence With My Dreams

Reacquaintence With My Dreams

Last night I slept so peacefully 
Last night I slept so sound
 

Sinking through soft cotton sheets
My consciousness unwound

Free range sleep much needed 
Not manufactured by machines
 
Having not dreamt for weeks
I loved the reacquaintence
Seeking sanctuary within my dreams

Relient on artificial unconsciousness
No water for seeds to sow
Dependant on artificial unconsciousness 
Only artificial plants can grow

Softly swimming through vivid slide shows 
No fear of sinking... 

I will not drown

Delicate shoots of spring 
Rendered with dew
Emerge now
From the nourished fertile ground

Refreshed with optimism 
Like springtime after winter

Dreams are abstract snapshots of my life
Through a rose tinted filter

Glowing with positivity 
Now understanding what it means...

Understanding the loving courtship 
Between unconsciousness and dreams

Outstanding poem, Syd.
Like an acid trip on paper--or a computer screen as the case were --only better, lol.
Wasn't it EA Poe who said;

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Good stuff, Syd...

Hi Dean, thank you so much for your kind comment and positive feedback. If it was Edgar Allen Poe who said that, then I must read his poetry. Sounds right up my street.

Take care  - Syd

Fantastic write SYD!!.....the lilting sound the music of this write made in my head was absolutely perfect for a piece with this title...... the line ~

          ~ "Seeking sanctuary within my dreams.."

~ stuck out for me!!..... it stirred in me that urge to go back to sleep when awaking from an intense dream....... the phrasing in this write is just STELLAR bro ~ "abstract snapshots of my life.." ......"artificial unconsciousness..."...... wow!!..... perhaps I am a bit bias because I have so much trouble sleeping and so many unbelievable dreams.... so much so that I begin therapy on September 7th, the day before my wedding ~ go figure!?......anyway, loved EVERYTHING about this piece my friend!!......PINNED!!......smokin' grooves SYD!!......smokin' grooves!!......T xo ?✴???✴❤

Hi Tony, thank you so much for your kind comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem so much that you pinned it. Your comment is awesome. 
Last night was the first night I hadn't had a drink for weeks on end. The fresh vivid dreams I had inspired this write and hopefully to cut down on drinking much more.

Good luck with your therapy and all the best for your wedding.

Any time Syd! I'm good, cheers. I don't have as much time to myself since my 17yr old daughter moved in with me, which is brilliant! So, I visit here and write, less now. At the moment. But still a slave to inspiration, of a rhyming kind, now and then! Lol! Nice to hear from you ☺

My Dear Syd,

He rests so very peacefully
Artificial sleep inducers eschewed
The passions of his vibrant dreams
Now totally renewed

Love you Bro,
Larry xxx
