A DREAM

Michael Edwards

 

 

A DREAM 

 

Juxtaposed non sequitur

without restraint of thought control

outwith the exercise of sway.

 

Where light of day will never hear

unconscious words discharged

by night’s dictation disengaged.

 

Poetically the thoughts unseen

by day time’s open eyes.

    Wonderful write, dreams can be awe inspiring as are these words and the wonderful abstract.

  • orchidee

    A fine write and pic Michael. Aww, why people wish that the light of day will never hear my singing!

    • Michael Edwards

      Sing at night and they won't know it's you singing Orchi.

      Why is it we say sing at night but we don't say sing at day? Yet more conundrums !!

    • orchidee

      Well, a church is having a new midweek meeting: 'Dreams interpretations evenings'. It helps if we can remember the dream! Or else it's like trying to watch telly without plugging it in!

      • Michael Edwards

        Or plugging it in and getting it soaked. If it will fit in the sink that is.

      • Fay Slimm.

        The mystery of a dream described perfectly and with poetic prowess.

      • dusk arising

        Daytimes beta brain wave patters cannot assimilate the information which passes through our brain in the theta and alpha brain patterns of our dreams. Hence, on waking, our wonderful dream, once so vivid, falls from consciousness.
        Not a very poetic way of describing a dream is it? Whereas yours is simply a 'dream' by comparison.

        • Michael Edwards

          Thanks dusk - now saying your description is not very poetic is a challenge in itself - I'll think about it.

          • Michael Edwards

            Remain alert
            Converse, debate
            With the beta waves
            Of an active mind.

            Take time to reflect
            Take a break and relax
            In the Alpha state
            Of an optimal mind.

            Turn out the lights
            Put down the book
            Let the brainwaves descend
            Into delta depths.

            Isn't it funny how in our dreams we never question what is going on but just roll along with it (unless it's a nightmare of course). Another magical abstract Michael!

            • Michael Edwards

              Ah but I never roll in my sleep - I wake up in the same position as I went to sleep in. Honest ! Thanks Lorna.

            • Laura🌻

              Michael,
              Perfect abstract for a Dream sequence...the ones we want to go back to sleep again and continue the Dream! (Not the nightmarish ones as Lorna said)
              I enjoyed the read!
              Great work, Maestro!

              ~Laura~

              • Michael Edwards

                Ah but as Orchi says - if you can remember them. I have to say I rarely can. thanks so much Laura.

              • orchidee

                Ahh, that explains why out tellys have not come on. We been plugging them into the sink! Hmm, never knew that before now!

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                THANKS MICHAEL ~ Now that ANGELA is in NZ ~ all I have to do to meet her @ the top of Auckland Tower is:

                Dream ~ Dream ~ Dream
                Dream ~ Dream ~ Dream
                Whenever I need Her
                And with LOVE to feed Her
                All i have to do is DREAM !

                Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
