I am a dream hawker,
A stalker of stories.
Dissolver of worries,
I bring dreams to light.
I enter mysterious
Spaces of the night.
The in between
of twilight dreams,
lucidity is seen.

I am a tracker
of wild places.
A seeker
of the profound.
Digging up the underworld
For stories covered up.
Souls hidden in history
Buried, but not forgotten.
Unafraid of the dark.
Searching for sparks
Of inspiration
To light my way.

Intention matters to guide dreams.
Attention matters to recall dreams.
Written words of the night,
capture unseen realities
that only the dreaming mind can tell.
Words that keep the timeless art of dreaming alive
to be remembered and reviewed.
Reality checks for dreams that come true,
I scan mythic narratives that hold us all.
Interwoven with the mythic mind and far memory
are glimpses of what may come to be.

I call upon my dreams gently,
as a partner, to show me
what I need to know.
Beseeching your healing,
I travel this time worn path
of dream incubation.
Pilgrims of sacred dreaming,
Come lay in this temple of night.
