Notes About The Poem

The Lucid Dream

Here and now, 
No matter where or when 
Everything so solid, 
Everything so ephemeral,
A perfect construct
Of perfect clarity
Giving us exactly what we need
Regardless that 
That need is meaningless
Inherently immaterial
Both in substance and content
This dream day and night
Always
Passing us by 
Whether we know it 
Or not.

Ohh yess! Exactly feels like this! When every day fades away, whether we notice or not, slipping in fleeting sighs of time and we keep dreaming away about it! Everything solid yet so ephemeral! And in our thoughts we build an escapade ~ such a thought-provoking and meaningful poem this is, dear James, "That need is meaningless Inherently immaterial Both in substance and content" Very deep and absolutely wise! As always.. pleasure reading this, Sending you poetic light! 💫🌙🍂
