Poem Commentary

A poem written many years ago when I was fighting night terrors.  And also having alot of dejavue at the same time.  I connected them here.   Hope you enjoy...

DE'JAVUE

Where does my spirit go when I lay down to sleep?
Surely it does not tire from my bodies activities during the day.
It could go ahead without me to find the knowledge that guides me through my life's coming's and going's. 
Does it set the stage so that when I awake all things will be as they should?
Where does it go for eight hours of the night?
Maybe to pay homage to its existence, or then only to meditate inside my subconcious world of imaginings?
Would it feel "free at last" to be able to go and do what it's purpose is?
One may never know the difference between ones spirit and soul; though I may never care, for I know that they are always there, to guide me and show me what they already know.

I am sure you are right, when we sleep it for us does fight!

Love it, could be a bit thought provoking I suppose. The spirit could very well go ahead to set things in their proper order, or go home to recharge- for it will surely need all the energy it can get to help us through. Nice write indeed, be well, k

Another thought provoking thought. I thought I was the only one that thought these kinds of thoughts.

It has never occurred to me that my spirit might actually leave me while I sleep....but, why wouldn't it? But where would it go? You have set my imagination loose.....thank you for a very good, very thoughtful piece.

Nice, I write from dreams, I have had dreams come true, I have dreams for warm me, I like the life of Joseph, son of Jacob in the bible, the interpreteur of dreams. I also believe when we dream they are real in another realm, the realm we will soon be in, some what, but much much better. Do you keep a dream journal, sometimes I have like continues, like part 2s and three, interesting minds we have as humans huh, I love it..

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
