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”
