Dreams within Dreams

“Thought streams manifested the dream I was both subject and object Methinks things are not what they seem Which illusion do we reject” diminishing we drop through layers of infinity aging into poorer copies of ourselves in the wake of morning/mourning startled eyes open again where do we go? where have we been? re/production is at play interpretation of all reality misunderstood misconstrued in a world of scattered deities with daisy chain connections someone must run the show watch from the wings awaiting our enlightenment scene within scene theatrical dioramas dream within dreams scripts for forevers of many ways to unfold drawn to one way ladders peripheral vision blinkered creativity both the distraction and the key to blind/bind us in the end knowledge can expand or contract minds narrow vision entices keeps us from scaling heights that tilt and shift to the overwhelming vantage point we dream and wake leave it all for later ~ it'll make sense then

Dear DD, your poem title drew me in and very Poe. What a captivating exploration of perception and reality! I love how you weave existential questions into the fabric of your verses, creating layers of meaning. I loved how your imagery of slipping through infinity reflecting our struggles with identity and understanding. Such a thought-provoking work; it truly inspires me! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Thank you so much Daniel, it was fun to get carried away writing this one and letting subconscious suggestion dictate the direction from the contests line of enquiry. I appreciate your comment, thank you.

Thanks Mat, I enjoy hearing your reviews. It's nice to know my intention with a poem is received. I looked at this one a little too long and started to detach from it - so posted it when it felt I'd maybe ruined it haha - glad you liked it
