Notes About The Poem

Our Dreaming State

Our dreaming state, discerned by mind sedate
Elements of cause and effect missing
All sense of time absent, as we gyrate
Having lost even sense of reasoning

There remains no logical sequencing
We have no will, when dreams manipulate
Puppet on a string, we cease questioning
Our dreaming state, discerned by mind sedate

Free will gone, unable to meditate
We yet go on thus experiencing
No will or power, we cannot create
Elements of cause and effect missing

As we respond to illusions flowing 
Fear images arise, which we then placate
We question not thought forms, bewildering
All sense of time absent, as we gyrate

Fear or desire, we do not hesitate
Aspect of consciousness is accepting
Unable to ask flow of time to wait
Having lost even sense of reasoning

Difference between waking and sleeping 
Unknown if our stupor does not abate
If waking too, like a dead man walking 
What matters randomness of seeming fate
Our dreaming state
