A dream so sweet, so real. You visit me often. It's like I know you and I haven't met you yet. I've memorized you. You don't exist.
Yet, you do.
And then I awake this morning to this. Golden light saturating the shadows. It's the first thing I see as I rise and stick my toes in the carpet with sleep still in my hair and my senses. Consciousness comes in waves. I snap a photo. My mind then wakes up, too, ever so slightly behind my body and the dream comes back to me. Reintroduced with a tiny pull, an ache, and all that's left is wonder. And the cosmos sigh, Ah, yes. That dream was for a reason -- be patient my dear.
Beautiful stuff. Dreams are funny things. Do you ever find yourself unable to pull yourself out of the emotion of a dream for the next day? Whether you're angry, upset, confused, happy, whatever it is - it's so amazing the way dreams toy with your emotions and make you really, truly feel something that never really happened except in the recesses of your mind/imagination. Amazing stuff.
ReplyDeleteI always pay attention to whatever I see when I first wake up. It's usually something similar to this and is honestly one of my favourite kodak-moment-in-my-head moments of each day.
Another stellar post from you lady.
