The Resting Dream

The picture of amazement

And shocked living

I rise like a bird

From the fruitful waters of last night's dream

Gasping for air as I sit and stare

Wondering threw the wonderous

The fish I've eaten

Lodged in my head

In a keep safe

What in heaven's name is the code

Whispers just a man alive

And as the God's laugh to prolong my pain

These out stretched palms betray my being

For all I have is this memory

This glint of a diamond

In some far off distance

Across ocean's of doubt

And an age of impossibility

That  is where the dream lies

And it is there that I rest
