mystical dawn

bamboo shoots beat against each other
the sound of it
in the silence of the night
scares away dark thoughts

how long have I been awake?
it seems like forever
aeons of time merging into it
is it morning yet?

bellowing curtains
shadow the moonlight
when dawn breaks in,
into the room

I fall asleep deeply, dead to the world
but very alive in mystical one

Ooh, I very much like the feeling of this one. Like John said, it's a vivid scene and you've really created a physical sense of it.

Hey Tami, sooooo nice! Right away I thought of a bamboo wind chime. They make a lot of noise too.
Seems we are having a rash of bamboos shoots around today. :)

dead to the real world and alive in the mystical one...there are those cultures who believe the dream world is the "real" one and this waking world is just imagination.

I liked the bamboo curtain between the worlds.

I liked the use of italics for the speaker's thoughts.

Sometimes I stay awake just listening to the night - it's voice is very reassuring.

Happened to visit your blog and wondered why it didn't happen earlier. It's a good feeling to know that I became 100th follower to your blog... After reading this I remebered having written:

Searching for my Sun
In the vastness of night skies
Whatever happened to my mornings..

Hope we will keep visiting each other in the world of thoughts...
