A Dream Within A Dream

If you dream a dream and turn to dream it again
you awaken to the memory of a vision seen then!
When you don’t expect it the image will be there
re-appearing in different disguises, everywhere!
An echo of a sleeping world out of waking reach
a forlorn desire of something you can’t breach!
The mirrored images of what you see will seem
like sad reflections, of a dream within a dream!

The mind will not let a heart’s emotions keep
nagging from within with no respect for sleep!
In the seaming knowledge of a religious light
might simply be the refuge of an inner plight!
Within the fine balance of each person’s brain
the secrets of what makes them sane, or insane!
When we surrender to strong emotions we seem
spiritually trapped, in a dream within a dream!

Time has no place as the imagery stays with you
in it’s multiple variations in the state of Déjà vu!
You’re conscious of no colour to each revelation
just shades of grey shape your persistent vision!
Yet you hope on the day you take your last breath
you will find rainbow spirits in the truth of death!
Perhaps though death is not what it might seem
and all you view is but a dream within a dream!
