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...
very precious dawn ...I love this sleepeasy ;)
A happy ending at last, like a sigh.
You brought pictures of a serene night to my mind. I totally agree the sound sleep you get in the early morning hours is a total bliss :)
