In the deserts of the night,
What immortal hand or eye ...
Could frame thy fearful symmetry ?
**Those who have compared our life to a dream were
right.... We sleeping wake, and
waking sleep.

~ Variation On The Word Sleep ~
I would like to watch you sleeping.
I would like to watch you,
sleeping. I would like to sleep
with you, to enter
your sleep as its smooth dark wave
slides over my head
and walk with you through that lucent
wavering forest of bluegreen leaves
with its watery sun and three moons
towards the cave where you must descend,
towards your worst fear
I would like to give you the silver
branch, the small white flower, the one
word that will protect you
from the grief at the center
of your dream, from the grief
at the center. I would like to follow
you up the long stairway
again and become
the boat that would row you back
carefully......
-Margaret Atwood |
