Escape

If I do persist
In the dreams I can't let go
Will I lose myself?

Dreaming in colour
Beneath the waking shadow
I cannot let go

A thousand faces
Behind my always-closed eyes
All that is me fades

I have read this poem about 15 times and each time I read I like it more. I normally do not read the ame poem so many times but, you have written such a wonderful Haiku, I had to go back again and again just to make sure I did not miss anything. Thank you for a superb experience. Mac
