The Cycle Of Dreams Poem by Sookdeo Manansingh

I leave you in the hands
of the stars for the night
that you may understand
my reason for you to have light

The army of clouds must obey
my command before I leave
so they must gather on the horizon
for my instructions to receive

Having completed a job well done
with their garments of faith
they can now go to rest to clear
the sky where the stars wait

the shape of the clouds
signals what to expect in the dark
when I shall move into slumber
to dim the life in every spark

The teardrops from every eye
will remain patiently for my return
when they will reflect on their achievements
and what they learn

I leave each day at dust
for the moonlight to share it's glow
that whosoever wants to be enlightened
they will come to know

The cycle of dreams come in the night
when I goes to sleep
to find inspiration in my absence
is a mystery for everyone to keep
