Dream Pipe. Poem by Ryan Brodesser

Dream Pipe.

Rating: 5.0


When your mind goes fuzzy

And you eyelids start to sway

Things get thick and muzzy

And you are quite washed away


Down the pipe of realms unseen

You start your peaceful trip

Wandering through different somnus dreams

Down away you slowly drip


You pass through quiet meadows

And abandoned rusted parks and places of joyful play

viewing broken dreams, and fears in final throes

As you pass along your way


The little lights in the sky

With a million little nets

To small for the human eye

Sell what they can catch


Above the Stygian cloak of night

In markets in the stars

Faces of legend argue and fight

For what we claim is ours


And often we dream

Malignant predators in the deep

Strike at us in clotted stream

To infect us while we sleep


Every ocean must meet the land

And every river a shore

And thus at the alarm clocks bidding

We awaken refreshed once more

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I often write about fire or water. both are the same yet are polar opposites. water creates and renews yet wears away rock, patient, tenacious and determined until it is long gone, fire destroys with wrath and ire, anything in its way is either burns or is charred, then is renewed anew in fresh growth. When we dream, do we enter another realm? The Ancient Egyptians believed when they slept, their Ka, a part of their soul, leaves them and wanders and that is why we dream. Where we go depends on our personality, lives and events we are facing. I believe our dreams reflect our lives. Wishes, desires, sexuality, personality is all their. We may never leave our own bodies but their are other parts of the brain. long, dark hallways filled with repressed memories and we fear to go to without a candle, or brightly lit hallways, where all our friends and dear ones remain, waiting to visit you. Enjoy and please R&R!
