Slumber: A Tale of Reincarnation

someproseandapoem.substack.com

Sleep has been elusive

I try to chase

The subconscious

The unconscious

It slips by/

Dreams remembered

Leave fuzzy

Remnants

Of their imprints/

I catch you when I can

Resting with my eyes closed

Tapping in to my ancestors’

Wisdom/

My heart hears them

And responds by slowing

Its pace

Slow

Leisurely

I feel the tender honeyed release

And succumb to slumber/

My soul expands in and out

Above and below

And around

To touch the Cosmos

Again

(Pam on sleeper train in India, 2015)
