OTHER THAN MY OWN
as moon holds
no ambition
in reflecting
sunlight s rays
so too dreams
erase all reason
till nights
consumed by day
i too have
long held thoughts
that continue
to eat away
at the larger
collective dream
which nearly all
mankind believes in
without question
without ever seeing
the greater
blind
pre conditioned faith
in everything
that everyone
has ever been told
to unquestionably
believe in
which creates
the very fabric
of this interconnected
inter clashing world s
vast
tight tangled weave
of suffocating
surface lies
only a dream
all dream
together and alone
though most
still sadly seem
to be so
unconsciously sleeping
so apathetically
unawakened
even when awake
to ever see
feel or sense
the subtle energies
of such
extra dimensional
things like these
still so largely
unseen
unknown
here within
our own deep
ego blinded
temporal dream
which increasingly
devours itself
right here
under our noses
seemingly without end
then there are
these other dreams
of more awakened
knowing
ive had for many years
of clearly seeing beyond
the illusory veil
of this larger world s
collective dream s
historically
destructive realm
so easily seen through
though still unheld
by me
for so many lonely
lonesome years
expressed
in simple
fractured tales
which mask themselves
as poems released
outside all here
all in between
in passing dreams
which i
breathe in
experience
but then exhale
like restless breaths
of dispossessed
stirring ghosts
of spirit winds
without a home
out on the prowl
for anyone
who might possibly
see sense
feel or hear them
that come and go
in these nocturnal
tidal flows
of random
tumbled purge
without clear form
or sound
nor need
for any further
understanding
explanation
nor approval
other than
my own
so long
as i
at least
am willing
to simply
keep on
listening
to their
faintly
whispering
subconsciously
yielded
more deeply
intuited
songs
then painting
them out
in impressionistic
words like these
as best i can
to give them
manifested
voice
for other open
kindred human eyes
ears minds
hearts
and souls
other than my own
to reflectively
see hear
and feel
whatever
resonant
relative meaning
or personal
interpretation
in and from
them
they
possibly
might
or
can
