Sleeping stifling under eiderdowns <br />Roaring through dark tunnels speedily, <br />Twirling in the tight grip of tornado funnels, <br />Hurtling to hell and falling fast, <br /> <br />Strapped beneath the onrush of a bullcharged train, <br />Gasping for air as oceans swamp my lungs, <br />Losing the brakes as down a hill I lunge, <br />Striving to climb steep steps which reach at last <br /> <br />A castle where the gate is open and the driveway vast, <br />Where trees and bushes move with claws and fangs <br />And wolves race howling at my naked heels, <br />Until I reach the door and danger’s passed <br /> <br />But no I find it locked and no one comes <br />Although I pound and scream quite soundlessly, <br />Tossing and turning like a storm trussed tree <br />Losing my leaves and sense my sails and mast <br /> <br />When on my shoulder comes your earthly hand <br />Waking me, taking me with you to your world, <br />I dreamed, you say, about a flowered land <br />A garden where our love was unsurpassed, <br /> <br />And we lay all the day and deep blue night, <br />Holding eachother by a vine capped wall, <br />Loving and watching the star filled silent sky <br />And now let’s sleep again. But I contrast <br /> <br />Our mirrored dreams, distorted one, the other <br />Clear as a distant flute, a crystal stream, <br />Tell me your dream again, I say, and you awake <br />And tell me and tell me your scroll enfolding dream. <br /> <br /> <br />LRH <br />3.23.06<br /><br />Linda Hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tell-me-your-dream-again/
