    Sleep is Overrated

    dozed beneath my canopy
    indulged within my fantasy
    a can of cannibis cannot free the rapacious mind
    from the man I see
    seeing beneath my canopy
    I visualize what cannot be
    he is the me who is not me I am the him
    that isn't free
    the slimmest limb is still the tree
    with obese clouds that spill the sea, sunrays and will to be
    I will be the me in me
     


    "without dreams sleeping is overrated". 
                                                                                   keep dreaming

    Cannibis is a known relaxant, and much easier on the human system than prescription drugs with worse after-effects than a slight burn to the lungs... and those who indulge can find freedom as a temporary release, as your poem illustrates to me... .. I really like your phrase "obese clouds" and your ending is more than correct... it seems that without dreams, or deep REM sleep, the body doesn't completely rejuvenate, especially so, for the mind. I like your ending inference that dreaming is important with sleep and Especially in the waking place, dreams are the stimulus for something more... good one.

    keep looking in the mirror is what I say..you can't go wrong becauses there is no one else to point the finger at neither infront of, behind, or beside yourself....only you,,you ,,you,,,in all circumstances we can blame others for our faults, mistakes, shortcomings, etc. but in the end...look in the mirror...we always have a stake in it because of being in denial about something, not owning up to something, or enabling somethings...think about it

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
