I am finally dreaming again after years of none. I agree with Kate, isn't it good to be back in the saddle again?
Love,
Ann

Its good to be in the saddle again isn't it? I read tarot cards that directed me to keep an eye on my dreams....................I see you got the same advice :-)
Jude, you are the master. I can tell you from my own experience, it is good to step away once in awhile. I believe this mood you've set is either contagious, or a factor of age. Fortunately, the brain still works, even without any arousing elements to interfere in a some blissful inertia. As always -- all the best to you. ~ Sara
a state of depression you got that push and pull all caring on in one place your head affecting all

Climbing into a heightened state of perspective
Beneath the ruins of what I am <-----if one hits that height, if one is sleeping they cannot realise they are asleep, if they do then it means they're awake....
Distinctive Ying/Yang effects all throughout, especially these two lines:
"Unresponsive to the glitzy rhetoric
Repeating the howl of indifferent stillness"
Glitzy vs. indifferent but it's like a love/hate relationship of one line coupled to the other. So my review of this can be summed up in a wise old admonition:
YIPPEE KAI YAI YEA COWBOY! You sure know how to ride off into the poetic sunset in style, my Bronx Brotha,
Sounds like a kind of living death that begins with a burst of negative centripetal energy which afflicts the sensory perceptors. You describe what could be construed as a dysfunction well. Unless, of course, it's not a dysfunction at all but just a season of misunderstood renewal that requires patience.

Dear Ace,
In my humble opinion, a sleepless dream is better than a dreamless sleep. May you have your fill of both sleep & dreams.
stand near a window. I think you're ready to soar. you will become the dream. read this three times I loved your expression of the tension so much. be well, Dawn
The mind of the great seer of our Den strikes again with this work that again brings us not only outside the box but outside the room...well done Jude, enjoyed.
Jude, are you standing beside a troubled pond and wondering why it had gone so crazy, or the waters in which you were swimming have changed their course and speed? You seen worried of something but I Hope you are ok and doing well dear poet.
A thought provoking write my friend, a bit of sadness can be felt through the offering, a tired feeling. Well expressed...take care dear friend!
Blessings,

I find the inverse velocity, direction and upward shift in energies in this to be fascinating, Jude. My Dad always wanted to call me Roberta. The song, "Killing Me Softly" could be mine as I view the content of this write and feel it explode from within the current unphased internal combustion of basketcase frustration and controlled out-of-control emotion that I am currently seeking to contain. This probably sounds totally AWOL but this is like a pressure valve going off for me, inspite of its superficial reading to the contrary. Caught the sound of the creaking leather from that very first line, and the sense of "heading out" into the usual dusty plains, slow plodding at first with the first descriptive lines - BUT... But, but, but, the dynamic of the focal point of the turn: "I analyze various methods of reaching out From inside the debris of inertia" is critical, I think, in understanding the perspective of this poem, cos to me it is all about the massive forces propelling upwards and onwards, like rocket thrust, that is the fuel actually jetting the persona to new interplanetary mountain peaks whilst all the while seeming to be inert and listless. Your words: "Climbing into a heightened state of perspective Beneath the ruins of what I am... Listening to an inaudible audience Verbalize the possibilities of what I will become... Applauding without touching Responding without being moved"... the energies here are superabundant and the tensions pressing towards "break-out" extreme. This introspective-yet-almost-straining-at-eruption-point write measures about 9 on the Richter Scale with me. The whole tone of this makes me think again about the by-line you used to have on your Biog Page... about coming into AD "to review your perspectives, water your tired horse and renew your dusty thoughts"... or something. Anyways, enough blahblah, but this great inverse-thinking write is a real Lone Ranger write to me. Great stuff! Thanks.... And if you can still manage to hurdle over planetary corrals while feeling in a physical and emotional state of flux, it's a shame you didn't take your Olympian training to a higher level! British Rugby could do with both your goal kicking and "speed" on the wing! :)) Komatose K xx
Ahhhhhh bit of an oxymoron there matey, what were yah doin? Checkin out the cracks in yah eyelids?

I have read this poem a few times
And it sounds like your energy level seems to be low
To me it sounds like you are burnout from
Sleeplessness and stress, take care of yourself and rest!!
Excellent write!!
Love Peace and hugssss..Morning Star
Jude, I feel very low energy levels here in this poem, almost like you are in sleep mode to be floating between here and there. You sound peaceful, however...Am pondering, more of this to digest.
Peace, Love, and Light,

I'm glad you are tuned into the power that counts, not the chatter of the inane empty headed earthlings,who need the tv to tell them what to do.Better to be sleepless than brainless;-)
You sound like you are placed in between two worlds. One being the world of reality and the second being the world of the netherlands. Such an emotionally sensitive piece, enjoyed.....
Rich in power at this time, this vision comes with curing techniques that are being communicated to you...you've got a wooden skewer inserted in your flesh - as we break loose - we free from the bonds of flesh. This vision removes the tallow that seals the pipe bowl and fills the bowl with kinnikinnick - lit from a coal in the fire. Align the four cardinal points of your compass and meditate on the lower and upper worlds - puff the grass - a pinch of kinnikinnik, and soar in the lofty realms where you've dwelled for centuries - rub the ash behind your ears "Listening to an inaudible audience
Verbalize the possibilities of what I will become"...
In the tantric inertia of sleeplessness we sense more than when there is a constant bombardment of outer influence. I make my best decision in the twilight of my sleep.
Great as always Jude.
Love,
Susan

"Not wondering about what everyone is thinking
Not aroused by anything or anyone. . ."
What is this, if not a state of bliss? Great writing.
