I Sleep, I Dream, Without a Physical Movement

By N.H.

 

We

ascend up into the atmosphere of wisdom

while the radiation of its light causes us to unfold into

our perfection as a caterpillar unfold from its incubation period

into a butterfly so yes it is we who

can also fly above and leave our rambunctious ways

to pass away.

I SLEEP, I DREAM, WITHOUT A PHYSICAL MOVEMENT,

            I stand behind the podium uplifting the minds of the benighted, speaking righteousness, putting a smile on those who are depressed, motivating the

fools to think wisely.  Yes it is possible so let’s not

become a failure, instead a triumph.

I SLEEP, I DREAM, WITHOUT A PHYSICAL MOVEMENT,

We dwell in peace among each other, we sing, dance,

and love one another as a family, we all have a heart that is huge, huge enough to keep everyone of

us afloat just like the constellation that float among us at night, we are the inspiration out of own

generation, the ineluctable light that emanates the

world to its fullest creation and the torchbearer of

civilization so yes it is we who can make this dream

come true and be what we are created to be.

    Dear Free Minds Poet D.H.,

    This poem really made me think and it also brightened my day, so thank you. I especially love these lines:

    “We dwell in peace among each other, we sing, dance,

    and love one another as a family, we all have a heart that is huge, huge enough to keep everyone of

    us afloat”

    Mary
