This Dark Consistent Dream
What is this stream,
this questioning dream that fills my nights,
always displaced always not right,
and feel as I do my belonging,
in another way,
this soul is missing from where it should be;
and so I placate myself to calmer waters,
convince myself of fancy or visions,
yet in my deepest caverns
there is something missing,
that I cannot solve?
The dream places me in between,
unable to go forward, or return,
and the now just seems untenable,
what I should do held back, unearned,
and so struggle is a constant,
resolution beyond my extended reach,
and in my soul I am tortured,
for all that I must in desperate ways, release;
so no matter the circumstance
the dream remains the same,
and in memory, each facet of my life
bares this stain.
Is it an intuitive knowing of my path
back and beyond, or am I wanting,
a soul broken from loss or disconnection,
perhaps I’ll never know,
this yearning just a part of me as a whole,
and this writing I must,
is an attempt of releasing
all that sits within me,
begging for a path, a story to be told,
or perhaps I’m crazy, the limits of my mind held firm,
as I traverse this other dream, this life of burden?

Dreams can be so mysterious, leading us in round-about paths till we find that missing something in our life or soul. Nicely penned work, Tony.
Glad you connected with my outpouring. Thanks Phyllis.
