Secret Sleep
Time for us poets and writers and thinkers
To lay down our heads and close our eyes
And enter that dream-filled secret sleep
Where you write your desires in private messages
And only the night inside your mind
Hears your still inner voice
Only the night time mind
That wakes up while you sleep
That listens when your daytime thoughts have fled
Pays attention to your dreams
And loosens from your memories
The good times of life and love
And sex and passion
And brings them to the front of the sleeping mind
And echoes and plays in them
Like a lucid dream
But a waking dream
One where you send your dreams
And desires to the speaker
Whose poetry stirs your soul
Makes you crave his words
Fills your mind and body
With understanding and love and light.
Time for us dreamers and thinkers and writers
To let go the burdens of consciousness
For another day.
Then wake up and forget
What has come before
When yesterday has gone
And all the memories are faded.
