FAITHLESS DREAMER

Faithless dreamer:

To be cast out of

The dream pool, harshly

Banished from the gathering,

Scattering and returning

Images. The strength required

To control the night remotely,

Not seeing, not hearing

From the safety of daylight hours.
what tools? What techniques?

Where the lessons?

Who is the teacher?

One dream shallower,

One vision thinner,

One split-second shorter

The length of the night and

All of its shadows

To visit,

To bargain,

To vanquish.

Where is the fun in

Dreamless sleep?

Here to haunt,

Here to taunt,

Here to tickle

And tease

Those words,

The thoughts and

Deeds that

Arise from the id

To be checked by

The superego.

Put the night in the fun,

The fun in the night.

Excised,

Exorcised

The night gives way

To light,

To sight,

To insight.
