Fragility of Dreams

When we sleep, we dream... and emptying our souls thoughts pour out, tumbling freely from one to the next. Dreams encompass a multitude of conflicting emotions, as they flitter and flutter like elusive butterflies, adorning the garden of our subconscious mind. Fantasy is not merely the absence of reality’s rules, it creates a phantasmagorical playground limited only by imagination. Dreams invite us, nightly, to step through the looking glass and follow Alice into wonderland. Plugged into our psyche, they connect our minds to an imaginary world unlike any other. A jumbled mix of vague interactions, whereas phantom thoughts appear and disappear, rummaging through our mind’s vault filled with secret hopes and fears. As opposed to insanity, in the fragility of dreams, we buttress fantasy illusions with recognizable truths. (Free Verse) 5/18/2020

I love the representation of the truth behind this universe in dreams. Some times we are left to wonder whether reality is subjective or a facade in our lives. Congratulations on your win Emile :)
