The Peculiar Dream
Dreams are a window
The Peculiar Dream
Some tingle my senses , and tickle my fright
They enter my psyche , predominately night
They soon come a calling , and whisper in ear
As day turns to night , and the vision not clear
My dreams are an quarrel , a postulation that acts
Consuming my daytime , an expounding of facts
Preliminary evidence , the illusion of trust
Distinguish reality , with a vision of lust
They can't fully be trusted , and sometimes increase
And conceal the confusion , that my brain does release
On more rare occasions , they contain other dreams
And can't seem to realize , their intentions and schemes
So can I be certain , at some given point
That the meaning of dreams , may sometimes anoint …
Another thought process , the next in a line
Of sudden distraction , and the loss of the time
So now it's reality , is ever uncertain
That closing my eyes , does open a curtain ...
To the fact that I dream , or am I just blind
To the spirit of truth , that my conscious must find
So soon my eyes open , and cannot control
The miracle called life , that awakens my soul
Becoming confused , and not overjoyed
That I must now manage , the essence of void
