Thoughts and Dreams
Drifting aimlessly with the gentle breeze
Lost in thoughts and dreams
Thoughts and dreams surround me
Encase me in thick fog
Separating me from life
Separating me from reality
Joy is a figment of imagination
Sadness is a far off bitter smell
Swirling confusion within my mind
Swirling nothingness within my soul
Birds chatter in the tree
Standing outside my window
A tree I dare not look at
For it is vibrant and alive
Growing, changing and strong
And I am stagnant today
Motionless
Caught up in thoughts and dreams
That tie me inexorably in place
So that I have no energy
No ambition
But to sit or lie or stand alone
Thinking and dreaming
Recharging for the week ahead
Allowing myself to rest
To lay dormant and fallow
As dreams and thoughts encase me
In a thick healing fog
So I may discover joy
May breath in the scent bitter sadness
Once again and live
Grow, change and one day soon
Find my way through the thick
Encasing fog that surrounds me
And make sense of my thoughts and dreams.
