A Dream in My Brain

My brain as I dream

is like a kaleidoscope of flashing pictures

Somewhere the air is cool, clear, honey coloured

juxtaposed against a cypress-studded valley

coming together in a dance of silence

Sun glistening on painted houses

is marvelously beautiful

Sound of rain on leaves - ethereal

Water gurgling through a down spout - exquisite

interrupted by a distant rumble of fading light

Lightening flashes

Thunder booms

Bare branches twist and turn in the wind

Abruptly nothing moves

Just flutter of white light

Then complete darkness

A starry moon dares to peep out of its shadows

with a gray-grim sky as its back-drop

An unknown pale blue face with large eyes

bombards my sleep

Still in the comfort of my bed

viewing a colourful blue array of flowers

Preparing to leave a night that has lost its quiet

replaced by sun on baking sand

I become alert to a new day

Remembering nothing

about a dream in my brain.
