Nightly Causeways Poem by Laura Gail Sweeney

Uncontrolled dreams reveal one's yearning
For experiences unknown
Such nightly flights supply learning

Each dream reaches its own milestone
Which travellers do not choose
Dreamers lose control of the tone

The immense house was enough to confuse
Its style not being one seen before
Searching for hidden clues

While meandering, hoping to find more
The search was ineffectual
Even when starlight sailed ashore

Creative night flights were pseudointellectual
An unwilling dark ritual

Such radiance at nighttime!
Eventide falls, sweeping stars astray
While nearby belles chime sublimely

Before leaping into the starry maze
Unwillingly seeing the past and future
Ablaze, the forest hides malaise

The flames ignited to nurture
Sparks of ingenuity
Flashing at a hesitant searcher

Seeking effortless continuity
Must the wind delve into the asteroids,
Possibly swirling into perpetuity?

At times nightmares can be avoided
Swerving 'round spectres, whilst overjoyed!
