dreams may come

-watching the sun rise at the end of the world

perched on a cliff as the ocean below swirls

mesmerizing my mind into a subtle trance

while waves lap the shore in disquieted chants

-they speak of the past and present at once

as the hours turn days then weeks onto months

a new year comes round so present is future

the calendar shifts with a waning full lunar

-cold moon has risen now we wait for the wolf

upward with the flow does the gravity pull

if you could see earth from the eyes of the stars

the ocean stays still by the will of the gods

-there’s always some turbulence up in the clouds

we fly gracefully higher as time calmly allows

for life to root once the rain comes to descend

with mother nature there are no condemned

-but what of said existence of a multiverse

is it possible that this one is potentially cursed

or is this theory more about differing realms

such as the microscopic discovery of cells

-could it be the universe is complexly layered

that within deeper levels beingness is denatured

and in that change from instinct to thought

it is with the mind that ideas will transport

-across space and time once mass has reformed

into newly born stars so elegantly adorned

with the knowledge of what once did exist

if we release reality there can be no conflict

-illumination is present across constellations

is it possible a predator is aware of its patience

are the birds conscious that the sparkling water

is reflected starlight from our solar author

-or are these thoughts merely human invention

imaginations running wild like a dream engine

a dimension where desire is labeled as fate

and human consumption cares little of waste

-the best way to know where you’re going

is to always start at the end while roaming

a destination is needed to begin an adventure

just follow your heart as a guiding sensor

-even for those that know not where to proceed

when looking within you won’t be easily deceived

what do you wish for neigh what is your pleasure

while confronting your fears can you avoid terror

-panic sets in for those who feel awfully adrift

they’re programmed to believe life needs a script

without comfort they act as if they’re misplaced

hoping that someone will help carry their weight

-but freedom is found not by depending on others

it occurs in an instant when vibes become lovers

to be independent does not mean one need be solo

I’d love to wander alone on the streets of Kyoto

-some might prefer solitude with the northern aurora

following trails of stardust left by an ancient explorer

the most traveled path can reveal something different

just a variation of light turns routine magnificent

-such as crossing a bridge at midnight in a rainstorm

or a walk through the forest when the sun’s rays adorn

suspended particles floating in-between growing timber

on the morning’s earthen floor dewy ferns shimmer

-when mountains are covered in white frozen powder

it makes us long for the day when first blooms flower

as we huddle and bundle to get through frigid cold

waiting on the day when warmth will open the road

-questioning how a spirit can free itself from habit

first one must choose to abandon blankets for jacket

there is nothing momentous behind the border fence

picket white prisons should not be preferred to tents

-out under the firmament laid down by the fire

just like the cowboys of old lives a nomadic driver

traversing deserts and plains energetically swift

over mountains and rivers on terrain with a twist

~

-a traveler is always at this place we call home

boulders and logs are much preferred to a throne

with each brand new vision a question is posed

is this where he settles or does he continue to go

-but with each day that passes the green grass dies

and so this plan to settle must now be fully revised

I’ve been here and you there says a voice within

there’s a city out there full of leisure and glint

-museums and promenades to aimlessly stroll

with a dazzling sea made of turquoise and gold

escargot on the boulevard with a glass of rosé

with company present who does truly relate

-how can we enjoy life while giving up living

a life spent on working is desperately missing

the future is only known once it’s been written

manifestation of destiny requires no magician

-once awake how do we know we’ve fallen asleep

for the world of dream appears just as unique

pleasant dreams hold us nightmares are a trap

both subconscious influence that we must adapt

-the trouble we find is in how one should release

but the demons in all of us don’t need a priest

what is quite needed most is internal reflection

just slow the breath while counting each second

-escape is the key to acquire individual freedom

what one calls Hell might be the Garden of Eden

fly me to the Moon and then we take off to Mars

please do remember to send the past my regards

-the horizon is blazing toward infinite routes

you can swim with Poseidon or drink with Zeus

lightning and thunder or earthquake and tsunami

all answers are found in the sequenced Fibonacci

-we can only be influenced by what already remains

know that destruction doesn’t always follow flames

sometimes it’s a candle lighting the way for ships

so they may find one another on the River Styx
