STREAM OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS
Blue water glittering in the almost silent Stream
Eyes rise, you are at the water’s edge,
Radiantly like the Sunlit beam
I cannot move, fastened like a wedge
 
Quarantined by your beauty and radiance
Eyes locked with mine,
Am I in a trance?
Like none before, I wonder! – Divine?
 
Golden hair bouncing off your silk laced dress
I am calling but you do not hear,
Moving like a Kestrel, leaving its nest
No longer can I see, you disappear
 
Only trickling water in the Stream, you are gone
Melancholy, tear drops down my cheek,
I awake; it is a dream, feelings of forlorn
Thanks for the taste of Heaven, at this little creek…

Dreams in our sleep are different than “hopes and dreams,” for when we awake, it is gone!
