We settled ourselves on the edge
Balanced on the abyss of illusion
We were surrounded by images spoon fed through dreams
Landscapes of beauty
We climbed up out of the darkness
Knowing the path would finally bring us
To go this way or that.
So we settled in the middle
Feeling the trepidation ease
No hurry
No rush we sang little songs we remembered,
As we wore costumes like actors in a play
Constantly changing
Forever rearranging the furniture and props to fit,
Never realizing that it was a bit of make believe
And with the blink of an eye
It could all turn around
To be our wildest desires and dreams
If only for that moment
We could truthfully believe
That the beating heart within
Knew the secret that would be told
And our spot of balance
Would teeter totter out of control
And we would ask the stars to guide us through
Our waking worlds that never could glow
In the same way as the sweetest dreams,
We burrowed under once more
Escaping into the darkness
In search of light once more.
I had a night of amazing dreams and beautiful worlds, it’s always a bit of a let down to wake to the everyday….some days I think it would be awesome just to stay there a little longer, if only to gather more observations to bring to the light of day, fodder for writing from sleep is always fun, you never know where it will take you till you get there.
thank you so much for the reblog, peace and blessings, K

I find certain dreams are good on following through, I dreamt I went to work for this company that we delivered food to, didn’t know what they did, hadn’t had plans on quitting my current job, but felt so strongly, I interviewed and ended up working there for 17 years….made great money and learned a lot, grew as a person, etc….I suppose it depends on the dream/daydream….hurt no one nor self in pursuit….๐๐

So true. While I don’t remember my dreams, my daydreaming makes my life worth it. It’s only when I act on it that it pains immensely. Illusion is meant to be just that – a mirage that can be seen and felt but cannot be touched.

Wow so beautiful …I think I can remember a few dreams like that …yes they had lessons involved.
Haha yes …time to get up and moving …but then what is a dream and what is waking really when we carry the impressions as expressions of ourselves in either state …

I’ve been having these really colorful and bright dreams, which at first glance seem so very dark, but the lessons involved with them, open my mind up to the light, or opposite each time…..somedays I’d love to keep them going but I get woken up by hubby it seems when I’m in the midst of them….time to get up and moving takes precedence it seems๐โฎ๐
