Lucid Dreams
an awakening poem
The time between the first and second lockdown was like a lucid dream:
awake but not awake dreaming but not dreaming in control and out of control sleeping and awakening aware and unaware knowing and not knowing looking and finding healing and minding masking and unmasking waiting and starting stopping and going
Now that we’re in the thick of the fog again I can’t remember what that dream was all about it was like a pause except it wasn’t a pause it was a life ~ on hold ~ learning new dreams to dream:
how to hold them how to own them how to remember them how to share them dreams that is…
Lucid Dreams.
