Streams of Consciousness

Dreams flow like a river

By Jennifer Bogert Published 6 years ago 1 min read

Shallow river snaking by

Carrying my dreams

As upon my bed I lie

Thoughts stretching like streams

And as my thoughts flow out to sea

Ebbing with the tide

I wonder if I’m really me

The me that lives inside

Or is all just illusion

Am I floating free

Free of all confusion

Free just to be me

As my thoughts meander

Down these streams of consciousness

I try to take a gander

At this species that is us

Why do we hurt each other

When we are all one

And why do we hurt our mother

This earth that we dwell on

The streams of thoughts are murky

Muddied with despair

The river it is dirty

And no one seems to care
