Dreams

7/22/10

Thoughts are like clouds

drifting through brain environment

often snagging on peaks,

mountaintop illusions deemed reality

born from emotional eruptions

ignited by inner judgments

that place wrongdoing blame

on world and people,

in contrast, there's joy

as ocean of possibility,

fluid, deep, rippling feelings

playfully reflecting magnificent sky,

the changing shimmering light

humans can bask in,

let soak into pores,

enlivening will to create

our own unique heaven

out of magical stardust

we, and dreams, are.
