Visions In Rem

pages to a story like dreams to a night while consciousness starts to dim unconsciousness remains bright like words to a book that composes a plots design thoughts create a vision to which a dream refines when eyelids act as mirrors and not protective shields they reflect the visions that lucid dreams reveal when the mind remains alert, its creativity waves but during the state of slumber imagination reigns as logic takes a back seat, while consciousness remains asleep the mind displays a movie the memory fails to fully keep but sometimes a vision is more than just a dream like the patches of the past un-stitched at the seams suffocating senses with the rush of emotions so fast like getting in a time machine and travelling to the past the body remains still at the time speed barrier as the mind excellerates forward using thoughts as the carrier the faster forward into the past, the slower the future becomes as time travel is only possible in the mind away from the universe's hum the past it jumps to a vision of times unknown as the heart reveals to the mind how it wants the future to be shown like molecules of a comet frozen in space halted by the speed of time thoughts race forward to find the visions there in the future's mind like a drawing made with a pencil, the mind details the future in shades of gray but the road that appears before is a path with a colorful display as the mind races forward the body remains untravelling with every vision seen the future continues unravelling the end of this road is close as the vision reveals a clearing yet the path to a new road begins and the end of this one is nearing now the grays fill in with colors as the dawn of reality resumes its essence the role of logic takes control while consciouness unites the present like the sun brings light to the face of a new dawn in the mind inspiration for the future has spawned

What a great piece John. Great line 'patches of the past unstitched at the seams'. Loved the idea that dreams are like time travel. Thanks as always for your kind comments, i appreciate your support. My muse seems to be absent at the moment, so i'm hoping that reading such great poems will reignite it! Best wishes as always Em :)
