Hollow is the Mind

Hollow is the mind as you shut out the night

Images drift in as visions across the screen as you fight

The torments of a soul suspended within the illusion

As you twist and turn in the jungle of confusion

Darts of blame

Spears of flames

Arrows of truth piercing the layers

As they burn into your soul, sending out prayers

To all who would listen

Hark, Hear that? As tears glisten

Rolling down, they fall through time

Tasting their salty brine

The silence echoes back across the void

What is this world in which we’ve toyed?

This Garden of Eden in which we play

Why do we destroy and cause so much dismay?

The Visions erupt clear and sharp

Each one like a new thrown dart

You erase them, scrubbing them clean

Your mind the blackboard...... the screen

You take up the chalk and in Big Letters you write

There is only one answer for this world ..

UNITE

A common theme, a running thread

To pull together all pounding in my head

Nations against nation Man against Beast

I see it all as the story is unleashed

And as the Hollow is filled with thought

The restless mind in-between Worlds is caught

Seeing the Visions of Natures wrath

And all who will suffer along her path

Is it any wonder as I twist and turn

The Visions of our future are of Peace I yearn

So close your eyes- close them tight

Hollow is the mind as you shut out the night.

The above poem I wrote after tossing and turning one night and as I always keep a journal at my bedside I often write my poems in the middle of a sleepless night. While I endeavour to try to keep my mind as positive as possible, when we enter that zone of quiet time in-between waking and sleep, I often see then various visions play out across the screen of my mind. While some of these are I know are Dreams, often too I have had what I call a ‘Window’ open in front of me on the wall, and I am shown images within these screens which are so vivid I recall them in every detail.. These I call my Visions, for they are so much more than a dream.. At other times I am pulled backwards as if up and through myself as I travelled through the ceiling and was pulled into the cosmos as I viewed the planets and stars and I was then shown Earth. Sometimes I am shown images which I feel are yet to come, While some are pleasant others are far from it.   And some of these are what I wrote about within this poem. As I wished my mind would not see and be Hallow and empty. © Dreamwalker 2012 All rights reserved.

A Poem~ Walking Amidst the Shadows

Walking Amidst the Shadows

I walk in the darkness among the trees of life

Alone with my thoughts I reach out amidst the strife

Of a mind caught between worlds of tormented desire

They crackle and flash like the flames in the fire

The sparks that ignite me float to diminish

And the shadows dance backwards to a time when we’re finished

To a time beyond this Earth realm where our souls

 once flew free

To an age of timelessness where no dark would we see

Yet now I walk in the field of my dream

The Shadows creep up and hide amid the trees

For the knowledge we once knew is still bound inside

Waiting to awaken the whole of Mankind.

We need to release the jealousies of hate

And open our hearts, let open up those gates

To release the burdens we place needlessly on guilt

Let go of the shadows, let the love-light be built.

Hold it close heal all you see

Stop the judgement and negativity

Walk a path to truth of who I am

And be content within the Universal Plan.

Be bold, be brave, stop being so naive

Live life in love, so shall you give and receive

Cast your Light and drive the shadows out

Be not afraid of the flame as you shout—

To a world the truth who long ago forgot

Walk in the dawn of conscious thought

Listen to your heart to the battles it has fought

 As I now walk, my path becomes clear

I hold the light, be true and sincere

For each of us journey to a land made of Dreams

Each holds the thread as we stretch at the seams

As the Stars keep on falling sending us the Signs

Mankind is a spec within Cosmic Designs

As for me in my forest of shade

I give thanks to my shadows for the strength that

 they gave

For without their darkness no light would exist

And my journey on Earth is well worth the risk

For to progress on home the flames sometimes scorch

So let not the shadows hang low where you are

Reach out and take heart, for the Light is our Star..
