ANOTHER DREAMLAND BOWL SONG (II) - (2 nd, newly revised, alternative version of it's original draft, also here on DUP)
stirred up from the depths of my sleep s
lucidly unfolding dreams
to answer my bladder s
nocturnal tidal call
now slowly wading
from up out of them
here at four a m
only to find myself
wading up from out of them
right smack dab into the middle
of still yet another
seemingly more physically felt and sensed
newly unfolding nocturnal dream here now
though only a hypnogogic one
this time around
so i temporarily put my deeper sleep s
interrupted dreams on hold
then in a neutral semi sleep state
i blindly zombie walk with eyes closed
feeling my way through three dark rooms
to find my toilet s sleeping porcelain bowl
opened and awaiting
my suddenly needed
suspended semi dream state s
sweet nocturnal flow s release
and even sweeter relief to begin
but just before and as i let it go
i faintly heard the geckos peeping
outside my open bathroom window s screen
down in my garden below
peacefully singing out into the night
their sweet kalimba like songs
of bird like notes in tweeting tones
that interweave their delicately stippled melodies
with the similar tinkling sound of my own
sweet relief of dreamland s warm release
in and through my flowing stream s
own sweetly falling song
like a mystical fluid xylophone
invisibly arcing through the dark
into an unseen but heard
tranquil golden pool below
a liquid song of intricately juxtaposed
and harmonized staccato notes
off gecko tongues and porcelain
momentarily synchronized in two part harmony
across the silence of this still night
like some long lost forgotten
ancient exotic african dreamtime lullaby
as i drift afloat right along with it
i briefly open my eyes to spy
out my window into the falling silver moonlight
of a now fully risen full moon
illuminating roussea like
my overgrown nocturnal garden
outside two floors down below
i briefly linger
to more fully absorb savor and remember
the unexpected instant wonder
of it s serenely beautiful dreamy vision
until i realized my own suspended dreamtime s
sweet song s release was done
as i reclose my eyes and feel my way
slowly back to bed again
whereupon crawling in
i briefly think to myself
hmmmmm
nice little intermission
before i surrender once more again
back into whatever other
perhaps even deeper
inner dreamland s ongoing dreams
and dreamtime songs
both from and beyond
my previously interrupted sleep s
temporarily suspended
dreams and songs
and other unknown new ones perhaps
might possibly still yet be
awaiting me there
to experientially witness
further savor and
behold
as they too
may hopefully
lucidly unfold
before this forthcoming
new day s rising sun s
reborn dawn
soon enough now too
will most surely
come
