Dream and Memory

Color blurs, refracted through night-rain
It feels so unfamiliar, this land without a name
Shadows dancing through hazy light
Half-glimpsed faces just beyond my sight

Unlock the door
To lost structures of the mind
In dream and memory
Revealed for us to find

Scenes recalled from long ago
Revelations only the dreaming can know
Unbound in lucid logic
Archetypes more felt than seen
Debts unpaid and choices made
Upon the solemn shore of dreams

Unlock the door
To lost structures of the mind
In dream and memory
Revealed for us to find

Beyond the gates of night
A land unmoored from time
Deep layers of awareness
Knowledge, portents, signs
And through these haunted halls
Each moment is relived
Shattered in a thousand fragments
The greatest gift a mind can give

In this communion
This fragile state
Profound awareness
Enlightenment awaits

As I return to wakefulness
Bearing secrets only dreams can tell
Carried into daylight
To become a better version of myself
