(“And Dream of Sheep”, 2018, original encaustic)
The Dreaming
At our core we’re all the same
An awareness being in a world of confusion
Good/bad, happy/sad,
Distracted/focused, lost/found
Each of us wrapped in layers
Trying our best to express ourselves
Within the superficial
Caught like a fly in a web
Sleep walking through thick air
Paddling upstream endlessly
A marriage of body and soul
For better or worse
Until death do us part
And we begin again
Another compulsive dream
Of becoming.
