SLUMBER SECRETS

My love affair

With words

Provides a course

Alive with surprise

Shimmering on the brink

Of beauty,

Between awake

And slumber.

Garnish it with clover,

Make it spin around!

Give it life

And give it voice-

To sing and to resound.

Swish it through the air,

Let its wings go free.

Make it light and bouncy

For all the world to see.

Behold its legacy,

Broadcast its history.

But make it new,

Rebirth it,

Unveil its mystery.

For YOU are "IT"

As I am.

It's you, it's I, it's we.

When it gets done

We do it!

We've the power

To rise or fall,

If only we just knew it.

Secret shimmers,

Secret sweeps,

Secret shatters

Or secret seeks.

Secret shivers,

Secret steals,

Secret starves

To be revealed.

Then secret blossoms,

Its wings unfold

Beyond the dream

Its secrets hold.

The verse which follows

Remains unrendered

In secret hollows

Hidden and splendored.

Unspoken, adept,

Mysterious, alluring

Secrets well-kept

Remain secret, - enduring.

Slumber deep

And dream in color;

Awake refreshed

Lke nothing other,

Know life's meaning

Hidden here

In brilliant daylight;

But n'er forget

The secrets buried

Within the night.

What shape is sleep?

Does any know?

Is it globular

Or focused clear?

From whence it comes?

And where

Does it go

From here?

Gears grind,

Laser burns

Life earns

And learns

Its recompense.

Every sense,

Time and immortality,

Merit finality

Of all of this

Supreme defense.

Awakening!

That's

It!

Someday's here!

'If only'

Has arrived,

My dear!

What more to say?

Everything I do

Is loving you

Or foreplay.
