"Dreams know what daydreams only dream to know"

Night's Answers to Day's Questions

Recently I have rediscovered sleep

Given enough Valium and trying
I slip out of my daily clothes and go
Down undiscovered sea lanes of the deep
On night excursions to the dark below
In living simulacrum of dying

Dreams know what daydreams only dream to know
And now I know to love and live my dreams
However unsettling some of them are
I always get home by morning it seems
Though I dive deep and long and wide and far

The silent soundscapes of my dreams restore
Both body and mind to seek and to find
Down in the depths of the unconscious more
Than wakingly possible diving blind
Eyes closed mind open browsing through the night

Night's answers to day's questions put things right
