Tears overflow from dreams into wakefulness
as the past and the present
intertwine to form
a consciousness which
until now was locked
in the hidden chambers of my mind.

Beautiful, so so true. have a great day
ReplyDeletewhat was hidden is now open, release it.
ReplyDeleteah but you are better for having all the pieces now...
ReplyDeleteI like the sense of positive self awareness. They fade becoming part of us in a growth process.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem and thought

How pertinent!
PEACE!
A great rhythym to this one. Good stuff, Shadow :)
ReplyDeleteI so love the way your mind works.
ReplyDeleteIn truth there is beauty - and this is beautiful.
So true..To be that is called true peace.

And I thought that those who have tough realities have beautiful dreams. But its the tears infiltrating from dreams to reality.
ReplyDeleteNice lines.

nasty things, those minds...
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...this is so eerie for me. I just woke up early this morning with a dream stuck so vividly in my mind that I had to come to the computer and write down my memory of it. I swear girl, you should have ALL your work published in book form....I'd buy it. Or maybe you could send me one hot of the press?!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you come over to visit with me my friend. How goes it? Still working with your drums?
You're a dreamweaver.
ReplyDeleteunlocking that stuffed and held back releases and frees.
ReplyDeleteand I am certified in the tenderness of your soul's embrace.......
ReplyDeleteThe hardest kind of epiphany.
ReplyDeleteLovely post ~
ReplyDeleteouch.
ReplyDeleteI found that moving. I recently tried to write a poem on much the same subject, but put too much into it. Paring it down to the essentials has paid dividends. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is incredible because it's succinct yet says so much.
ReplyDelete"Consciousness", one of my all-time favorite words. It may hold the (ahem) meaning of life's non-secrets.
ReplyDeleteAnd Shadow--YOU are a great "picture-picker" --grin!
to dream or not to dream, that is the question.
ReplyDeletebut with you, i would choose to dream...
mmm that one really does transcend the present and the past
ReplyDeleteHi Shadow hope all is well..
Lovely as are you...thank you for you comment on my post and so glad to be back...namaste.
ReplyDeleteShadow Dancing...
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool to see you back.
Always awesome my Friend...G
It's hidden for good reasons.
ReplyDeleteYour job is to figure out why ;)

u talk a lot in a few words....
ReplyDeletewalking on a thin line between dreams and reality. I've written something about that some time ago. good work.
ReplyDeleteTo bring the past into the present on a conscious level can be a dangerous move. Be ready for an inner struggle.

ReplyDeletesuch beauty in this poem...if feels healing to me.
ReplyDeleteLovely, just beautiful work.

Ah so true - with beauty.
ReplyDeleteIntriguing, the image that accompanies this one. I haven't quite worked out the symbolism yet. I'll get there in the end, though!
ReplyDeleteYou're weaving some magic here. Thanks for your visit.
ReplyDeleteAs always, wonderfully thought-provoking!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Beautiful poem man. I like your words very much.
ReplyDeleteHi Shadow,
ReplyDeleteGlad to read on your blog,
it's been a bit.
hugs to y'all...

So beautiful poem. I like it
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you could do with popping over for a dose of Jinksy happy pills, and a big hug! ♥
ReplyDeleteHope that you are doing well Shadow. The unlocking of those feelings is so important. Let the tears flow. And then keep moving forward.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we wish to keep those things locked away. It is a fearful day to face them.
ReplyDeleteI think you are exploring layers. Very nice.
