the flow of imagination (tonight’s dream)

 

What is seen when the eyes are closed?

What happens when the conscious mind goes?

When imagination flows,

and hallucinations are all to common.

 

When the lights have that extra glare

and love has that extra flare.

When we can do nothing but stare,

what happens then?

 

How does the night begin

and how does it end?

"Down the rabbit hole," my friend.

"This kind of thing happens all the time."

 

In our moments of slumber

where we fall and stumble

and the gods make us humble;

another life is lived.

 

Where existence is replayed

in such brilliant display

that we instantly fall away

in this mirage we paint.

 

Through a stormy sea

of shattered memories,

appears the lighthouse

that guides us safely home.

 

What is seen when the eyes are closed?

What happens when the conscious mind goes?

When imagination flows

and hallucinations are all to common,

 

- controlled delirium

- woven in the brain

- like a magic carpet ride

- fixated and forever.
