Burning Light Inside My Dreams
Burning Light Inside My Dreams

The light is outside
shining a well worn stoop,
where I seldom glimpse sunsets
since I stopped waiting for sun to rise.
Burning with this dream-like energy
that wants to spill forth,
I too have seeds for the wind to disperse.
Burning indoors with candle visions
and tonight's wine, full bodied
with just a hint of infinite possibilities,
I rise to the door growing
wider and taller than me,
reach for the copper knob
invisibly lost in this mist enveloping.
how will I get out, stumbling,
when dreams fear nowhere to play?
I turn to one place, learn
how the world played today to see
what I missed, since I seldom replay
the memories or reminisce.

"Burning light inside my dreams
I wake up in the dark
The light is outside my door..."

This song is so truncated and wistfully sweet. What do you suppose she means?



We can dream but reality is dark? Yet, if we look outside we'll see what's inside ourselves? I'm composing now in my head hoping I can come up with a worthy poem to relate to this song. I caught up on my sleep and I'm burning with this dream-like energy that wants to spill forth on this page...

Dream another time
