One could say
that when I'm looking
through the haze
I view things with

   certain clarity,

or is it then
that I finally see
things that I otherwise,
   wouldn't recognize...

Mystical becomes this gray
that seizes thoughts
mixing them into
a concoction
of jumbled notions
that somehow seem
to make an odd sort of sense
in ways, not always understood
  still they remain

         comprehendible;

and at times have that force
of feeling, evoking the psyche
into that which is just felt...
or known....

because the mind
    in dreams
     at will, conceives
            things unseen


but reality steals it away...



seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

Reality can steal a dream in a blink of an eye.  But a dream will return and reveal itself in your words.  Listen closely to the heart for beats to the rhythm of your dream.

Good thoughts to ponder here Donna..well said.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Thanks for reminding me to write my dreams down, before the day's reality obliterates them.  Sometimes, the dreams disappear on the way to my notebook.

You made me think!
