Dreams

When do we truly awaken?

Only in our dreams,
Does the mind truly speak,
Does our daily facade fade.

In my dreams,
I am weak.
I am confused.
But I am a wanderer.

I believe that every day,
We awaken slightly more awoken.

Everyday,
We are closer to breaking free.

Until one day,
We do not wake here.
We wake for good.

We are free.

Reviews

[John the Baptist]

A very clearly worded, sparely written effort here. The dreamlike quality of life has often been noted, both in literature and philosophy, possibly most notably by the man who was called the Buddha, who, when asked who he was, said simply, "I am awake." I believe the poet is speaking similarly here, when she says, "Every day,/ we are closer to being free." Of course, we must make freedom a priority, but the sense that humanity is steadily, if gradually, awakening, is a hopeful note. Liked this one very much.

You are very wise I see. I agree with your words totally.
