my soul wanders when I sleep
where it wills to venture forth
mostly it tells my waking mind not
some nights on a rare occasion
the faintest flickering of a memory
will hold fast till morning sings
some would say it’s just a dream
but what dreams are alive as this
so vivid are these vague remembering’s
just this morning my soul watched the sun
rise over the most beautiful valley
my mortal life has ever seen
the first rays of newborn light
chasing the shadows fast across
valley fields of summer green
my soul has passed the gates of heaven
and walked it’s quiet gardened paths
my soul has peered into the future
and has revisited my past
every so often my soul will stop
to watch the warm summer wind
rustle a single maple leaf
the peace that I remember
from those midnight summer stops
leads my waking mind to weep
darkness draws it’s curtains once again
as I recount what little I recall
and record my pondering
my soul stirs within this mortal shell
anxious to once again be off
on it’s midnight wandering
