The Dream

I have seen
                The sunken mysteries of my own mind
                spread out before me,
                                enveloping everything,
                                                breathing sunlight from their ephemeral dew.

I have heard
                the silent rumblings of a desire yet unborn
                                the faint, pitching melody of longing,
                                                as it wakes

And I have felt,
                The myriad images brush against my skin,
                                brush up against my eyes, still closed
                                                and beat great rhythms into my
                                                                closed and stirring eyes.

Yes, I have known
                The soft line which breathes within the
                narrows of necessity
                         The wisdom which whispers through
                         the mouth of restless fantasy,

                                      And the thought—which knows
                                      no boundary, but which
                                      flows and speaks out endlessly
                                                       as it illuminates
                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       the dream.
