In the Fragility of Dreams

in the fragility of dreams lies their opportunity

	to chose between the royal road to consciousness

		and a random clutter of misfiring synaptic transmission


		cotton wooled clouds harvest seeds from a fallen day

	gift a single candy apple or fruit basket case assembly

grow roots as they float into visions and fanciful exposure


		at their will they dare to collect a soothing fragrance

	of cinnamon and lavender perfume and scent at slumber

evaporate in doubtless measure a myriad of sacred rest


as harbingers in disguise even nightmares offer redemption

	once taken to the task in search for terrors’ cause and signs

		they speak uncomfortable truths like courageous guides


delicate in their ephemeral essence they tease illusions

	highlight unspoken boundaries and sound divisions

		which interpolate conflicting reason with emotions


		frangible reliability enters realms of disbelief and faith

	when morpheus wanders paths of underworld’s mystery

and that fragility reveals the strength of passing dreams
