DREAM WARRIOR    

           
dream warrior rode            
again tonight            
galloped through my dreams            
in a storm of dust            
and thundering hooves            
dream warrior            
lifted my scalp tonight            
with a single renegade blow            
liberated me by surprise            
snuck up from behind            
and spliced me            
from the deep            
not just counting coup            
this time            
but a war club blow            
to crack my skull            
to part me from            
my dreams            
perhaps in settling            
some old score            
with some unknown            
dark force            
which for far too long            
has been            
haunting me            
in my restless sleep            
dream warrior            
rode again tonight            
in a cloud of dust            
with a whoop            
and a crack            
he delivered me            
to sudden new insights            
in his swift            
blind attack            
upon the unsuspecting            
subconscious encampment            
of my dreaming mind            
from a storm            
of thundering hooves            
up out of a cloud            
of dust            
this dream time vision            
of subconscious liberation            
came to me            
by surprise tonight            
through this lucid dream            
for me to look at            
more closely            
tomorrow morning            
when i ve reawakened            
for any kind            
of subtle signs            
of resonant            
parallel symbolism  
i might find          
in or          
within them            
at all  
relevant to my  
waking life       
which i might possibly            
intuitively glean            
in order to redirect            
my current courses            
chosen path through life            
in all the ways            
i either unconsciously            
subconsciously            
or consciously gauge            
sense  feel and perceive            
think  act and dream            
reactively  mindfully            
or habitually            
about everything            
in this world and life
so intricately
and magically
inter connected          
around me            
which might hopefully            
help me find            
some better            
more effective ways            
at navigating my lifes            
present  ongoing            
journey here            
in ways that may better            
serve my needs            
manifest and fulfill            
my hopes  my goals            
and brightest dreams            
while at the same time            
serving the greatest            
good for all            
which i know im not            
presently doing            
so well at optimally            
fulfilling            
nor manifesting            
neither of those two            
essential needs            
higher goals            
realities        
and dreams          
here in my life            
presently            
now            
at all      
but then again      
in suddenly      
realizing that      
here in my dream      
just now      
i further realized      
and instantly      
caught myself thinking      
for just a moment      
of taking      
the quick  easy      
lazy way out      
by finding      
and taking      
some solace      
in the comforting      
old saying      
thought and song      
and the possibly      
plausible fact      
that      
life itself      
is but      
a      
dream      
until some day      
or night      
comes along again      
much like my      
dream warrior      
in clever disguise      
to sneak up    
from behind      
and with      
a sudden      
whoop and crack      
in his swift      
blind attack upon      
the unsuspecting            
subconscious encampment            
of my dreaming mind      
where he alone  
or maybe even  
life itself perhaps  
next time around  
may come again  
to lift my scalp      
to splice me    
from the deep      
excising me      
from my dreams      
excising me from      
my lifes      
present journey      
excising me  
completely from  
temporarily  
at least   
the lifetime dream      
of this world      
as i have      
for far too long      
lived  experienced      
and known it      
and currently      
even here now      
still know it  
all too well    
enough  
especially  
this time around  
and recognize  
them each  
in both waking life  
or sleep  
as little more  
than  
two wondrously  
intertwined  
yen yang  
separate  
temporal  
dreams  
which  
inseparably  
seamlessly  
dance together  
so mysteriously  
as one  
throughout  
each and every  
dreamtime  
journey  
of all our  
human  
lives
