Reminiscing Wakefulness
Sunken dreams re-emerge
if immediacy can submerge
into currents from below.
Up from forgetfulness flow
memories of images seen
that some something mean.
If whenever time can slow,
significance to these grow
as reflections of waking.
Closer meaning is taking
recognition from first,
as thoughts upons you burst
from depths to awareness
with a casual fairness.
Beyond first impressions
are deeper concessions
where meaning might be.
If choosing to be free,
one calls up these dreams
to remember the schemes
of possibilities through signs.
Each dream surely combines
all deeper levels of meaning
which we from within are gleaning
when we recall what we forgot
before we awoke.
