When the Sleeper Wakes in Sleep
When the sleeper ‘sleeps’
He wakes, on the other side
Of Plato’s Cave
And sees time and time again
Often in fragmented consciousness
The world that truly is
“Bigger on the ‘inside’”
“Smaller on the ‘outside’”
It’s like forever standing
Within a mirrored cylinder ring
Keeping faith to its seeming
Infinity
Even though only
Reflections are being seen
Reflections of the
Geometry of love
Thoughts
Unseen beings
Consciousness
And
Gravity
These and more
Floats around the exterior
Of this thin fabric of reality
Bumping into us occasionally
Letting us feel its obscured shape
But never witness its true property
Only through momentary slumber
When we open our minds eye
And peeks at the other side
When we drift away-
Unguarded by our perspective-
Through all of spacetime
And drift closer to the veil
As if through a plastic foil
Can we see and softly touch
The ‘matters’ of truth in life
See the wrinkles
And ripples in time?
That’s where runaway dreams
And forgotten past hide
You will see yours
And even all of mine
That’s why I can live
Again and again your happiness
And joys of mine
With near absolute clarity
Manifested through twinges
And longing
With the help of the night
That’s why
When the sleeper ‘wakes’
He can no longer
Bear this world of bright shadows
And must rush back
To the brilliant world
Under the dark sunlight
That's why
I leave the lies for the morning
And truth for the night
When you're weary of
My dazzling praises
You can dream among
The starry sentiments
Of my moonless sky
When the Sleeper Wakes in Sleep
