the boundary...






























Sleep hath its own world,
A boundary between the things misnamed
Death and existence: Sleep hath its own world,
And a wide realm of wild reality,
And dreams in their development have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy;
They leave a weight upon our waking thoughts,
They take a weight from off waking toils,
They do divide

our
being...

Sleep does have its own world. In fact it has many worlds for we are continuously being transported to different realms which is different worlds in a sense.

Lovely dreams Jenean.

Joy always,
Susan

Yes. But it seems to me that the 'wild realities' and the 'waking toils' overlap in so many potent ways... -J

I often wonder what makes us dream, even animals do it. A deep, magical realm betwixt wake and death or is it a kind of passage for the inevitable. So many wild visions which weigh in upon the waking soul. A psyche of creativity and perception. Don't mind my crazy talk just vibing off this right now.

you know, life, i think dreams are just another facet of our lives - there nothing is impossible - we are our real selves - the place where truth and light reign for us all -
