Awareness

I fall asleep in a deep state of clarity
I wake with such fog
But in the light of the middle of the day
I remember that which I forgot
This dream we call living
So tangible, when you let it encompass you
Those patterns which we fall into
Can define everything.

Taking a moment to listen, see and touch
When I cannot hear, view, or sense
Gives me clarity
The very essence of being is experienced
Like diving into a crystalline pool
And feeling all the ripples
A panoramic view
Of the scenery
Of nothingness

I really like that line about diving into a crystalline pool and feeling all the ripples. It's strange how that fog you can wake with can lift later in the day, and something triggers what you were dreaming about. I am happy when that happens and I can try and retrieve where I was in dreamland.
