Unreality, Again

new dawn 
on the horizon
      we know 
        that the fantasies 
of the
       night
will stumble 
into a cruel 
daylight
      unreality, however has 
        its" ways 
of seeping into 
     corners
     of 
     the 
     mind
    the stuff of dreams
          is a powerful vapor 
which intoxicates 
       leaving little room 
   for the heavy burdens 
of "Absolute reality"
    Our days pass
by in a hurry 
   litttle time to 
take stock of 
   what we experience
If 
you 
wish 
     hard 
enough 
The sweet scent 
of the forest 
will allow you to 
    Escape with a capital E
    which is 
the first latter of Energy, Enlightenment and Eternal

I could escape into the forest of unreality for a while everyday. I do have an escape route but it never seems long enough. Keep writing. Sara

Like your reference to "Absolute Reality," as opposed to the fantasy that we usually see around us. "The stuff of dreams" is truly a "powerful vapor" that makes its presence known throughout the following day. I sometimes wonder if those who are declared "mad" simply cannot separate dreams from absolute reality. Very interesting, Matthew, and good luck with your new book. My novel is proceeding - should be out in the fall. Love, Carolyn
