The Dreams we live on
©2006, Basil Sands
Dreams
Good or bad

They come to us in the night
Maybe even during an afternoon nap
They tell us things we will not listen . . .

Silken skin
Softer than a dream
Delicately smooth

Up her arm
Across her neck
Tenderly pressing my . . .

Tick, tick, tick
The droll day drags on
Piles of paper to be moved from this side to that
Signatures to be appended to documents to be stapled to packets . . .

When I dream
Your face is there before me
Shining, radiant, smiling
Eyes that glow with the sparkle of stars
When I dream
You touch me with . . .

I saw you
(c)2005, Basil Sands
I saw you
Just the other day
Although you couldn't have a known it
It was in a dream, I think
At least I had thought I was dreaming
Or maybe just waking
In that early . . .

Prince of the Sky

The day drags on,
moving in rhythmic motion
ticking like the hands of an office clock
waiting for the end to come.
I look out my window towards the sky
And suddenly, . . .

Though up the mountains height I climb
No pool of water could I find
That reflects the sparkling sunshine
As the eyes of my love

Breaking the darkness of morning slumber
And in a brief moment of perception
I saw your face
Sitting, serious, . . .

Take the package across to the enemy's zone
That was their order
Fanning out in a line
Space between each man to protect against . . .

Wonder

Amazed
Mesmerized by this mystery
My heart beats the sound of her name
My voice breathes a soft whisper
A whisper of beauty unveiled
I see her face and wonder
At how so . . .

Questions from a five year old

If I hold my face like this will it stick?
Is it OK to kick some one who is mean? . . .

Mummy?
Look, mummy, up in the sky.
So many planes.
The blue sky is filled with planes
So high up they looked like tiny birds
Loud birds
They sound like thunder that never . . .

Son of Adam
Where are you going?
I am going down this road.
Son of Adam
Why are you so swiftly travelling that road?
It lies before me, and must be travelled.

As I walked along the path
Between the houses and buildings
Walking to the place I saw you last
There was no one there
No smiling . . .

If I Fly

Will you fly with me
If my feet lift off the ground
And I rise to the clouds

And scale the lofty heights at my side
We will climb

The flowery scent of beauty hangs in the air
Her nature given perfume
That which is felt more than breathed
Quietly permeates
The places she has been . . .

It's a ball
A grassy field
A net wrapped arrangement of posts
At each end
You kick the ball
Back and forth between guys
Or gals as the case may be
