Relatively Dreaming
By John Broadhouse
Step into my dream and leave the realms of reality
Where anything or anyone can exist in time and space.
Emotions are detached and viewed from a relative distance
As our mind free-falls through the ether of consciousness
Into surreal fantasies that underlie our being.Here we can soar with the Eagle above the storm clouds.
Reach out and touch the departed for unanswered questions.
Dive with the Dolphins, feel the rush of water against our fins,
The surge of power that thrusts us upwards towards the stars
With hope that we remember enough when resurfacing.Visit the future and walk the path to Utopia.
Strive on the backs of others to gain immortality,
So that our dream will encompass the latent desire,
To gain a foothold on our secret inadequacies,
But also distinguish between dreams and reality.A room, a face, a phrase, an artefact, a fragment in time,
Disbanded to uncharted depths of our unfathomed thoughts
Suddenly re-emerge as a dreamt "deja vu"
That knows what lies behind the door we have not opened.
A glimpse into the mystery that holds no answer to its being.
