Born a dreaming fantast; a child insomniac. (Free verse) by DreamerSupreme
As a child sleep
wouldn't come to me
my covers, or anywhere near
my small fragile presence
The silence would become
a music like I've never known
beckoning a new dream soul
to enter fantasy awake
and in control
Some would say that
ghosts stopped by
usually around 4 am
To me they were
as people, but their bodies
were concrete & amorphous
They spoke in silence
without words, without any
motion made on earth
with thought so pure
they were fluent pictures
which I understood
somehow, in an alien
sort of way.
I'd see lives played out
like movies, but multiplexed
which I grasped
by the thousands, but
it was too much for memory
to flag & then store.
Having grown, I know
now that such experiences
are largely considered mystic
yet nirvana or
universal understanding was never
the point or reason for
these waking dreams
They offered more
in purity, in soul
with youthful innocence
unmolested and newly created
People tell me
that these trances are
something I should
understand
But comprehension
is clouded- back then
at the time it was not
needed, nor had it
a use worth utilizing
Most don't believe me
or my stories, and honestly
I never expected them to;
what occurred is entirely
incommunicable
Yet it doesn't hurt
to try; everyone must play
& be engaged in their own
individual game in life
I'm still not sure what my game is
I don't think I'm supposed to know
Its better that way...
Its exciting that way.
