In Lucid Dreams

From out of the woods river wends

its way along banks of tall grasses,

thistles share in this beauty with

wild flowers; while weeping willows

catch their reflection in flowing cool

water.

As reverie unfolds; I close my eyes

breathing in nature's alluring fragrance,

enjoying damp green beneath my feet;

each step taken grounds spirit with 

soothing calm.

Gazing down diversity this life

concealed in undergrowth resides;

sunlight rays...only occasionally

shimmering like glowing embrace

where warmth encourages energy.

But now at Autumn Equinox when

day and night are evenly matched,

trees mantled; leaves oscillate a

flexible dance; immersed in breezy

jaunt, for some a last waltz; before

they fall discovering that earthly realm;

regenerating life for new beginnings.

When peace is once more restored,

wet moss absorbs undulation of

river's whimsical ripples; where

displayed impressions seem to

separate as if not wishing the sail

of constraints, and I too will float

free in lucid dreams.

a Harvest Moon, when day and night

are equal, on Friday 23^rd September 2022.
