Subtle shift in flow
Perceptions altered in state
Body calmly rests

Persistence of thought
An unruly melting mind
Time stands still in dreams
Copyright © 2023 Gareth David Ogilvie
Vivid lucid dreams
Aware of unawareness
Bring light to shadows
Take control of your vision
The mind director

Note to self -
Who do you think you are?
What makes you tick?
Why so glib with your remarks?...
Do you see what I see?
Are you connected to my senses?
Or do you live in a separate dimension?
Deranged and estranged entanglement.
If you are me then what am I?
I glare bewilderingly into my reflection,
and ask, who's this guy?

They come and they go
Like memories made of sand
Like dust in the wind

Am I dreaming that I'm awake?
A linear narrative that could be our mistake?
Dreaming of limitations,
Impossible lies and permutations
Invented physics,
Preposterous statistics
A conjured reality,
Living a life of triviality
Mental abnormality
An immortal deluding it has mortality?
Is this all just a massive trip?
A nurological momentary blip?
Has my sanity just given me the slip?!

Open for debate
Philosophers will gather
To discuss themselves

Replayed nightmares haunt the psyche
Blinded by sorrow and pain
Memories stained with hurt's wounds
Stacked
on top of
one another
A foundation that holds heavy weight
Unearth the dark seeds and bring them
into the light
Their fruits will taste less bitter

Druids of the sand
Time is formless, the glass breaks
Repair the damage
