The Ring



Oh we sleep and see some things

escape awhile from this,

one step for the dreamer

a leap for bones and skin.


Rocket away a little while

from mind as well as nerves

those strings attached

to arms and legs


are pinned to cold, hard earth.


It is a lovely morning

despite my aged skin

fitful sleep and dawn winning

Oh sky eyed bride within!


In last night's dream I found a ring

deep wide band of gold

asked around, what could it mean?

what have I wed, untold?

Could it be some common sense

finally aware

at last I have endurance

and marriage life to spare?


Sky news says that life will change

gifts from heaven come

starships saving everyone

from all the lethal ones.


Last night the ring was lighting up

illuminating rooms!

All the walls going away

trumpets and stranger tunes.


Maybe graduation?

schools all shutting down

where are all the spaceships

will take us out of town?


Partners made of wonderful

able to understand

float in space occasionally

connect with aliens.


Saints arriving daily

I see them on the road

some from further galaxies

and others nearer home.


Yes, I had a dream last night

and now I dream again!

dreams merge with reality

a word that loses sense.

Everything's vibration

Oh, we know it's true.

What happens if the master switch

is turned up then times two?
