I peel back onion skin layers

to find a dream within a dream

within a dream.

I am on the outside looking in

stripped bare and floating on clouds.

I drink deeply the essence of stars

falling through the walls of life.

I am fusing into unsettled scraps

of yesterday’s broken dreams,

tiptoeing through life’s dunes.

Teardrops bathe me

in abrasive sea of salt.

Laughter climbs a ladder

seeking wafting breeze.

I chase the light,

swimming naked.

I paint my aura

with rainbows of pigment.

Streams run gently

down my face.

My fingerprints

dissolve and leave no mark

Sun kisses gold flecks,

simplicity of love,

its warmth chasing the pain

as I melt into nature,

dripping candle wax,

marking my path,

so I can find

my way home.

there is an emptiness

deep inside of us that

no one can touch, the

emotions are now powerless

against the raging storm of

lost dreams,

as we seem to be so caught

up inside the matrix lifestyles

that we project inside every type

of magnitude that we have to share

with the world before us.

we get so caught up inside

the world full of dreams

and fantasies unknown.

In a dream,

I tasted harmonies

As my toes tapped

Along to the beat.

In a dream,

Colors made noise,

And the rainbow

Made the most beautiful music.

In a dream,

Touch and taste coincided

To bring a wonderful experience

With their mashing of flavor.

In a dream,

The impossible became possible

And a life with you

Didn't look so far away.

In a dream,

I saw a different reality

Where up and down were the same

And you and I were one.

In a dream,

I wished it was reality

For then I could hold you

And call you mine.

I walked amid the the twilight trails

In the misty moonlight crossing the veil .

I found myself with the ethereal light

My heart was happy my soul was light.

As I reached out to see if it was real

A tingling in my fingers I did feel.

The more I reached for this light

The more I tingled and I wasn't sure why

Until I saw your face I was a little shy

then it was quite clear

Time has no meaning here

So I smiled and took your hand

And we walked and talked

as we crossed the land

We discussed many things of wonder

Things to come, things that have passed,

and things to ponder.

It was all wonderful it seemed

Until I woke up and realized it was just

In a dream!

The space between conscious and unconscious is where spirits answer concerns. They speak to inquiries and touch minds; gently molding realities without awareness.

Lost loved ones come to visit, caress cheeks, kiss foreheads and snuggle children.

It was a dream where I saw you. I saw the space of darkness among life and death. I saw you mirror the truth, I saw the darkness was gone in you. I saw death was not merely an ending, but rather a vast beginning; the start of having knowledge, instead of a life of seeking knowledge.

Dreams are where we meet now. We meet and make the love right, which we never had here. Dreams connect you to me, they span the test of time and all current thoughts on reality.

Dreams are what make you a part of me, and keep me inside of you.

Goodnight, sleep-tight, sweet dreams,

Your loving and endlessly loyal daughter.

In a dream

I have you,

In a dream

You have me,

In a dream

We forgive,

In a dream

We change

And truly live.

In my dream

You came to me,

In my dream

Anger is absent,

In my dream

I feel safe,

In my dream

We start over,

We stay forever...

... But it's only a dream.

In a dream I was happy. I was content with myself and never seemed to doubt. Trusting and kind, I was surrounded by people who loved me. I exceeded all my expectations and was appreciated by others. I went to bed every night with a smile on my face, wrapped in the arms of my love.

Oh, if only that dream could become a reality.

Scenery, people, all are illusions,

Which may seem real or more like delusions.

You may enjoy such abstract confusions,

Perhaps not if you suffer contusions.

Then, of course, there is the nasty nightmare,

With fearsome creatures of which to beware.

Some are horrific, and such is unfair,

When jolted awake with frenzied despair.

You may fly or dance upon a moonbeam,

Perhaps hunger beckons for some ice cream.

Regardless, remember that when you dream,

That little is really how it may seem.

Some reveries brief, some last ’till daybreak,

(I tend to wake with a pounding headache).

i woke up in a dream

i saw myself asleep

my face a familiar form

eyes closed, mouth shut tight

as i lay on the bed,

then i floated up above suspended

didn't want to leave

i begged me please, my body to wake

it would not move or stir

my spirit form translucent hung like a linen sheet

now what? where to go is all i felt with loneliness

with no accompanying force of thought or entity

how strange it'd come to this

no chance to say goodbye to those i saw below asleep

still lying still on their beds with their moving chests

breathing with their spirits still within their bodies

dreaming dreams from which they'd awaken

never wondering what they'd slept when woke up in the morning

or even of their dreams unless they were enough to stir them

to remember what it was they'd dreamed about 

that made them fill with awe 

and then find my lifeless body still and cold

or aware i was above looking down below

wondering how it was that stopped my heart

my last breath that i took

missing me and shocked with their crying

me, sad and lonely wondering how to get back into my self

as i wondered i was pulled up into a light

a tunnel shaft of rays white bright and disappeared inside

i then remembered when i came into the world 

as a baby by my mother's life

helpless in arms that held and lifted me as i grew,

the faces that beheld me 

their voices soft and stern and in between 

the sound that filled the hollows of my ears,

the words, the pictures all the things i saw

that made me what i was that took me to the end of this

to make me cry and laugh despair and fret about the world i saw back then

it seemed a minute from babe to older man

all in a moment's time to this as helpless as a babe

about to enter into another realm and start all over again

where time was not a measurement but only the present now

everything seemed irrelevant, insignificant and of little worth

as i entered into the light all my dreams came true

You came to me once upon a dream

In the deepest, darkest recesses of my mind

You waited for me to look your direction

And then, unbidden you moved toward me

Your very presence first stilled the beating of my heart

Yet the closer you came, the faster my pulse beat

Short of breath and unable to speak you came nearer

I felt your breath upon my cheek

I felt the beating of your heart with my own

I heard you whispering my name

And then my alarm went off and woke me
