Behind the Wall of Dreams

there is a woman knitting dreams

she knits like spider webs

your thoughts into dreams

an intricate and delicate network

of strings she weaves

that is your life


she seems to know you

as only someone who has known you

your whole life could

although you have never met


as you dream you think

this is not the life I expected

still she knits and weaves

years go by


you end up dreaming

that you are still a young child

when you awake

you are refreshed and at peace


there is a woman knitting dreams


her infinite sadness she wears

behind the mask of lifetime

I'm so surprised no one has commented on this enigmatic piece; it is a delight to read. Welcome to the soup...add your own brand of spices to this feast. Namaste.
