awake in the dream

we are still but life around moves
if lust rises, soul disapproves
world, a dream, conjured by desire
which fleeting goal do we aspire 
amidst images shape shifting
wisps of smoke around us drifting
the movie unfolds as was caused
but freezing the frame, we have paused
mood and mode, embrace and release 
flowing thus with nonchalant ease
in timeless time coming undone
recognising we all are one
linked together with threads of love
God’s grace pouring in from above

I EMBRACE the sound this poem makes and ENTHUSE to its mood/message that dances a delicious rhythm on my skin and within. Aaa - glad I arrived here, was looking for something else, but found what I most likely, most needed. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
