Conversations With a Dream

  •  

     

     

    To whom do I speak?  'Twas my question to a dream.

    Late into the night we spoke of things beyond our comprehension.

    You spoke in awe of things I once believed.

    I answered with questions not yet conceived.

     

    We listened to the night and thought of the future.

    I heard things from my memories coming from your lips.

    Your ears heard thoughts from the future for the first time.

    Who is talking to whom?  It's a fleeting question of mine.

     

    Where indeed am I standing on this midnight street of dreams?

    Are you a figment of my mind, or is it I you imagine?

    Perhaps I'm a shadow created by something passing in the night.

    When I wake in the morning did I actually “Come into the light.”?

     

    Questions go unanswered, unasked, and ignored.

    Theories of life float into my window and walk out of my door.

    The people I meet as I walk through my day disappear in a blink.

    While the episodes dreamed are more real than I might ever think.~Jay Olson
