Dreams Seep Into Reality Poem by Anita Atina

Dreams seep into everything
Seductive psychedelic thoughts
Flashing across, slumberous reality
That plays a movie, within a movie

Sometimes carrying images we know
But don’t quite understand
Almost as if they speak in a foreign language
Familiar from a past life, yet forgotten in the now

Portending the future
Or restoring a lost past
Creating for a few moments
Those slivers of bliss that last!

Nightmares too thud across
Anxiously beating hearts
Rudely awakening our fears
Of loosing what we love the most

So do those precious visions
Of love and light
Appear when the greyness wells up
Quietly anchoring a despairing heart

Yes the analysts have jargoned reasonings
That are countered by dream readers, of every hue
But the simplest explanation perhaps is
Our dreams make us, anew!
