  Fading

  it is not chains that bind me to the position i now hold .

  and, that, for a lengthy time now.. i stand motionless, my eyes peering through dark curtains, they fixed steadily upon cheerful passersby on the street below my third-storey bedroom window.

  by their simply being out and about in the daytime sun i perceive that, in contrast to my placid self, these happy souls are at peace with the world.

  Hi Rip:

  Pillows do come with warning labels! My fave is a feather pillow. My others are too hard, with no give. Maybe I could put them to better use . . .

  ???

  Thanks -- had forgotten this thread.

  I Haven't Much Time.

  i haven't much time.

  conflict is on the horizon, moving ever closer toward us.

  our being a peace-loving people does not mean that we are weak and ineffectual.

  I peer through my tiny glass darkly and wonder how, for so many years, I survived an overly illuminated existence in the arboretum. So hot, so stifling, so luxuriant my unbridled growth. Shunted away to a darkened hovel -- never did they say why -- I languished by degrees, till, at last, I come to be in this state of mental and physical decay.

  I would leave momentarily but for limbs too weakened to sway e'en by breath of Zephyr himself. Into the earth, whence I came, will I return? I am bound at feet by entwining tendrils that halt all escape.

  Nature, Nature . . . why have you forsaken me?

  Dream or Nightmare?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have reached a frontier dreamt about as a child -- the outer reaches of a vast realm under stars.. though an imaginative and inquisitive lad, my forward-looking mind and open heart could never have conjured up this fabulous, this infinite unreality into which i have been catapulted.

  what may appear a distortion of my former reality i tentatively accept as a cosmic tableau that threatens both to fascinate and crush my frail, puny body and spirit.

  i am unable to comprehend what i gaze upon with frightened, delicious terror.. my recent escape from lunaria was of sheer necessity: my people have been overtaken by a scorpion race of alien malefactors whose intent toward us was not one of beneficient intervention but that of conquest.

  Good night, dear humbled:

  Yes, I do try to create a mood.

  I really was describing my place, where I have to bus my dishes from a makeshift, waterless kitchen to the bathroom wash basin. Sometimes, the dishes stack up . . .

  Best wishes.

  Thank you, LisaRose, for such welcome comments!

  I believe you're correct, myself having read somewhere that poets explain and interpret the meaning of life's happenings.

  Peace be with you.

  He never stops, rip!

  I forced my shoes, leather jacket and cap on and braved the newly arrived cold and damp.

  I walked to my favorite spot and gazed shiveringly at the fog-enveloped mountains and trees -- those ghostly specters -- and perceived my childhood home beneath the actual lay of the land. Wishing there were someone with whom to share this natural beauty of intermingled present and past, up saunters a dear neighbor. A kindred spirit. He tuned in to my words; he understood.

  This is the day-to-day fare from which dreams of the subconscious arise.

  Creation.

  THANKS!

  So shaken I am: heart and mind and soul combine and find their mix, with paint, on board. Beaten down for so very long that it took by storm my stumbling spirit to perceive I had soared. You said -- so adamant you were -- that putting brush to board was a hobby, little more. "Dare to dream further, you'll receive no support from me . . . get to work and scrub that floor!"
  
  I must eat, that's true, yet you insist that I cannot dream; you call me an inveterate fool. Good for me -- it was not my choice -- I've been freed from job and you and gone back to school.

  .........although sometimes slight differences.. bear in mind i am in the uk and we don't go a bundle on therapy and i can't afford it anyway.. here is the dream manifest content as best i can recall.............. i am in a town or city.

  i come across a shop which inside is more like an indoor market, sometimes a cavern.

  it sells marvel comics.
