Book of Dreams


From the "Book of Dreams" [1987]
(poet 2o smtn yrs ld)

Interest in perception
Matter and Means of
Attaining all we believe or
Know of reality

What is perceived on a
Day to day basis is a routine
Of familiar sights, sounds, movements
And reaction to such stimuli

Outside the given realm
Of what is believed
Is a sent of what is 
Beyond humble furnishings

Of known certainties there is a
Border to what is alien to
Understanding as we have
Come to know understanding

Our world is made of elements
Mundane and Living 
The simple difference of life
And not living 

Becomes increasingly apparent
As experience fills the senses
And all points of life are interconnected 
Within this unique gift of living
