But a Dream

What if. . .
after all the time
that seemed to have passed


you awoke
to find yourself
prone 
in a crib
staring blearily
through bars at sun-dappled wallpaper
mulling over all of the images
that before you had played
and seemed so very real


even if you could speak
how would you begin
to describe the dream

I love this allegory! It reminds me of the inner child I once was, finding greatness in simplicity, and profoundness in the sublime.
