Just a Dream

("Dreaming Gaia", original encaustic, 2020) Just a Dream In the land of sleep and honey where frog and princess dwell we’re swallowed up in warm embrace without a tale to tell For in the morn when left brain rules like brilliant rising sun the right retreats into the dark and waits till day is done To then once more start all anew and build up worlds of light that rise and fall as quick as thought a masterpiece of sleight But in the end a balance holds master and commander the latter bold and blustering former a bystander So day and night this life unfolds in flesh and blood it seems but when we wake however brief we see it’s just a dream (5/8/23)
