Notes About The Poem

Of A Confused Nightmare Dream

(A Thought Provoking Tanka Trio)

 

Is sleeping dreamless,

Short-lived life’s resurrection,

Or death’s fantasy?

Can living fake its own death

In confusing nightmare dreams?

 

I thought I was dead.

Do the dead have dreams of life

Or just it’s nightmares?

Irrespective of it all,

It all seems so confusing:-

 

In life’s awareness,

Sleep can be as confusing

As “the living dead”:

Is it possible for a dead mind

To have living thoughts like these?
