The Sleeper

Everyone has a fantasy
Whatever to them, it may be
I have a secret one
"I can't wait to fall asleep."

There apart from all reality
Is where I wish to be
As I challenge myself
Through conference courses.

Where pain does not exist
I am able to walk and run
light footed rush about
without the aide of a cane.

At times, I can fly
Awkwardly off balance
Not with the gracefulness
Of a soaring gull
But I can fly
can you imagine
Without getting high.

When I fall
Something funny occurs
Automatically
I wake from my dream
Never do I hit the ground.

I love it when I am hanging
From a cliff
The human body and senses
Experience every bit, the thrill
Of sensitive orgasmic sensations
That seem to accompany that package.

So to you Mr Sandman
I say, you are forever welcome
under my anxiety infested
Humble home
That awaits, the dust of my dreams
Sprinkle away.

Sleep and Dreams can be a refuge in times of trouble and heartbreak, but sometimes they can be rather elusive! Wonderful write, William Bonilla. Peace. Joyce

"To sleep, to dream. . ." Thank you for this inspiring flight through dreamland. Sometimes even a nightmare is better than what awaits at the break of day. Like you, most of my dreams take me into pleasanter realms. Some I dare to believe will come true. Some of yours will, my friend. Whether they do or not, they will always be there, waiting. New dreams await you!! Bless you for being a dreamer. Even more, for encouraging others to dream. Say hi to the sandman for me. Tell'im I'm on my way! 'Pea' <3

Ask him to put bungee jumping into your cliff dream.
I can empatise with wanting to be in another place without pain,angst or need of a walking stick.
Sounds like you have the best dreams.
