Lucid Living

The wide arabesque of wakefulness

co-mingles

with bird chirps

and the unconscious reside

of sleep.

The world behind lax eyelids offers
musing theories
of what is possible
when gravity
no longer
exists.

Before being bolted back

into time and space

one last weightless wonder is given

momentary wing.

Rationality and logic:
the enemy of deep seeded
dream world desire
to abandon
all laws of physics
and assimilate into
every particle of air
a tree breathes.

In waking life

breath is our second nature.

What is our first?

Modernism
mean muttering
concepts such as soul
under ones breath
in fear of non-believers diminishing the dream

of being

without having to be more

being

without having to do more

being
as the means and the end.

A wish
to simply sit still
and watch the small yellow bird
perched beside the tree
that breaths you in.
