Thoughts on dreams, revised.
Eyes close and consciousness slides,
released and spiralling haphazardly downwards
to a strange world of shifting dimensions,
where bottomless dreams blur cruel reality
into something else.
becoming someone else.
someplace else.

All drabness fades, splintered and overcome
by falling crystal shards of deepest-self,
shining sunlit colours combine with opaque,
obsidian, no shades of grey blur
the terrible beauty
of unfettered
true self.

A place without rules where other-world eyes
coalesce soul-wishes and fears, deepest desires
infuse, merged images of past and present
with things which may yet or never be,
longed for escape.
but from what?
to what?
