...captivating surrender...sleep...lucid dream...

night be the hour
tranquility be the moment
blue be its blush
the night in full bloom
a celestial garden of blue
the dark beckons
drift I into raven enfolds
suspended and embraced
captivating surrender
behold I a cosmic dance 
floret firmament of sleep
floret firmament of sleep.

...the leaf touched by the chilling wind

     the snow that falls

          the bird song yet heard

               the chimes sounding... 

                    such be this Cosmic DANCE...

                                        the Deliverance

                                           the Ascension

                                              the Nurturance

                                                 the Creation

                                                    the Exchange...  

of breath and BEING.

...from the night...cosmic dance...

this cosmic dance of BEING
fragments of what was yet prevail
mind holds to visions of another tomorrow
heart pulses with a questing TRUTH
orchestration of past present future
vistas of the soul
this cosmic dance of BEING.
