In the Deep Dark

()
David W Solomons
A recent and mysterious composition for voices and brass by David W Solomons, based on an equally mysterious and recent poem by his father.




In the Deep Dark
In the deep dark of night
I swim in the stream
of my dreams,
seeking for light.

Lurid images
engage the mind,
swirling and shrinking,
to purple nothingness.

I swim towards the real,
open my eyes;
Strive to make sense
of what I see.

Gaze at the bedroom wall,
patterned with sun,
filigreed with shadows
of leaves, wind shaken;.

And slowly wake.
