Simply Dreaming

Asleep aware awake amok
these dreamers wear a thin
veneer that tempts to
buck eclectic sanity; beware 
you dreamers what belies 
somnambulant

and wake surprises,
contemplate seraphic schemes,
escape the fear on magic
wings, soar and wheel
and gather where the
dusty pastry angels care.

Between a plasmid state
of being there in detailed
dreams and here aware,
knitted in connected themes,
united in half-glimpsed effects
of visions far too real 

for eyes a-scry - much too 
beauteous to be disguised 
or undressed by reasoned 
whys, and yet distressed to leave
unchecked, much too true - the
bona fide you revealed.

Cast aside your fervent care, 
revel in the fantasy, if you were 
to wake again you can 
declare with unreserved, 
immaculate assuredness - 

you were only dreaming…
