Who
Big blue dream...
Brain rearranged and
personality scattered to windblown ashes.
Who am i? Who is this person that says "i"?
What was the dream?
i can't remember.
i can't remember a thing, except the
most exquisite, brilliant, deep blue.
Layer upon layer of light, hue after hue,
Blue drowning in blue with no point of reference
no sky, floor, walls, ceiling, horizon....
My very atoms have been shattered and i
am not the same person who lied down to sleep last night.
Sleep... A sleep that felt longer than the ages, and
awakening like Lazarus, shuffling forth from that
other world, still trailing the ragged shroud of who i was.
Or who i am. Or perhaps "i" has become superfluous and
really doesn't exist at all, and maybe, never did.
Big, beautiful, blue dream, drink into your light once again,
whoever this is that i dream that i am.
What i once knew, i have forgotten. Who i was has become
some mysterious stranger from a dark and foreign continent.
Shall i be dust?
Rain?
Wind or sky?
A mote of tangerine sunlight drifting through
sepia dustshot afternoon?
i can be anything and i am nothing and i am all things, and
i come full circle back to that same nagging question:
Who is this "i"? as I sink into sacred sleep with a smile on my
lips, and my being dissolved in this sea of longing.

Pure magic Frank
Ever read Hermann Hesse?
(my favourite writer)
Your big blue dream reminds me of a HH piece Ive carried in my head & heart since I first read it 22 years ago
"Every real secret, all the true-born pictures of the mind, were like this one small secret of water - they had no form, no clear accomplished shape, would never let themselves be perceived save as a far off lovely possibility... of this same flimsy magic stuff our dreams were woven in the night - nothing, with all the pictures of the world in it - a water in whose crystal the form of all things live as eternal possibility..."
Hermann Hesse, from Narcziss & Goldmund
bless you Frank

Wonderful stuff, Frank!
One of these days I'll actually post a few I wrote long ago, back when I was enjoying writing.
