We slowly get tired and gradually fall asleep - A Time to Dream
We slowly get tired and gradually fall asleep,
our mortal mind shuts down to reveal the memories we keep.
Weird and wonderful, strange and mysterious,
sometimes frivolous, other times serious.
Maybe a nightmare you want to escape,
maybe a fantasy, oh please don’t let me wake!
And as the morning sun finally appears,
we rouse with a smile on our face - or perhaps in tears.
We wonder how these dreams come about,
and it’s a mystery, of that I have no doubt.
As we sit quietly and reminisce on the events of the night,
we try to fathom what’s wrong and what’s right.
Things are all of a muddle inside our head,
so we look forward to our dreams, next time in bed.
As we try to go back to this magical world
where dreams are created and slowly unfurl.
And each time we dream, we discover once more
things we don’t like, and those we adore.
But one thing’s for certain each time we sleep –
we will wake at sunrise with new memories to keep.
Beautiful poetry. I'm almost addicted to sleep because it can take you through worlds you cannot even imagine in waking reality.
I like to believe that when we sleep, our consciousness is taken back to the formless world of creation which is where all come from and where we will return to. When we wake up, our logical brain needs to explain this so we call it dreaming and say it's just parts of the brain being activated. Hmm I feel there is so much more to it than that. Thanks for getting me thinking!
