Nocturnal Happenstance
Dreams know patience
From where
the currents form
that first breath
first cry
suckling
coo
From where
begins tenuous longings
begat by sudden voltage
cranial hostage without voice
not knowing
not yet equipped
only growing synaptic wanderings
From where
comes liberation
sentient pleads exploding
expression finally knowing its needs
Yet
We wonder
we challenge
we...
From where
does creative experience derive its understanding
that place wisdom becomes the new voice
where the stranger’s "Hi"
opens expansive trust
makes attachment moot
relies not on expectation
simply allows the now of then
Patient the dreams
For in its unpredictability
waits rewarding nocturnal journeys of discovery
one may not have ever experienced in reality..
But the daylight experience of someone simply saying "Hi" results in an immediate trust. Unless you're writing that at night trust comes more easily than it does in the daytime.
