Dreams within dreams

Let us explore substratum of existence,
walking backwards till we can do so no more,
to which end by shedding ego’s resistance,
we discover we’ve not moved and there’s no door,
within dreams our mind conjured, mere wisps of smoke,
manifest by fire of desires which we stoke,
vaporising in the void of cessation,
where we alone are, prior to creation.

Oh wow! This truly left me speechless, dear Seeker! I'm awestruck by your ability to express such depth in such an ingenious and artistic manner! It may seem full of complexities, shedding off the layers of dreams within dreams, but it actually is very fluid and flows with the nature of existence.. you really opened a very different dimension here! Like time travelling into spirituality and the very essence of creation ~ as well as our being. Flawless this is! A master weave ~ Loveee those ending lines particularly.. a FAVE ~ keep writinnn n shininnn 🍁🍂💫
