Dreamer and the Dreamed

as an entity in the dream we conjured we know not we are both the dreamer and dreamed how then may we wake up when we are in trance in bondage to illusions we ourselves streamed our own box set of mind suffocation filling space to evade realisation afraid of the ownership each of us hold life in shadow rather than risk being bold creative poets we spectate and inquire strive a little to move inner self higher still forever in chains that we don't rattle fearful of change that could see us in battle can a dreamer pause when in a dream state analyse the detail and look for a gate enter and exit like the mouth of a cave linger to register what it is we crave connection that's true that lifts up the soul destinationless journey a valued goal a weightless existence as fear is cast off truth becomes obvious that we are enough perhaps we're adrift in our locked down ways beyond the smokescreen too dense a haze forgetting that time runs as quick as it's spent you only get change if you're quick to repent I see my life falling through all the cracks busy avoiding facing up to the facts exhausted I write yet still see no way through I still dream to escape it's all I can do
