Waking Up From a Dream

To distant locations across time and dimensions
Travelers from different worlds

And I sat there in wonder
Keeping to my work, at my desk conducting interviews
Yet I, not paying too much attention to their answers but watching the doors

The glass felt like dry water or a silk curtain with energy
A small one-foot glass bridge connected to another portal door
And the darkness of space was all around me
