Dreams 6-19-21
Funny how dreams create themselves Out of random thoughts and incidents Which occur, obscurely during a day. They are stored away for future use And show up in strange nighttime Ramblings appearing oddly pertinent. In the first few waking moments of a day A series of scenes re-run like movie trailers Briefly making sense, then becoming inane. How quickly the dramatic imaginings Of nightly visitations vanish like smoke Leaving behind only an occasional query. The more I try to recall, the more illusive. Attempting to apply language is futile. Words do not reveal the pictures I see. They are fleeting, making little sense to me. The attempt to share becomes fruitless and Produces only frustration in the exercise. So as usual dreams grow out of a part of me I only meet when asleep and I have learned To let them be what they are and that’s all. I don’t suppose they come bringing vital messages. These subliminal callers arrive without bidding. I just sleep while the greater part of me imagines.
