I'm having a problem. My dreams are starting to swirl together. A mist
caught up in the morning hours they twirl and entertwine within my
conscience. Plots no longer making sense. Dreams of werewolves and
lovers past plague the mind. Dreams of children to be and of haunting
ghosts decay the heart. Perhaps this is a sign of growing insecurity.
Once this person stood proud and unafraid. Now I cower standing near
vulnerable and defensless as a freshly shone spring lamb. What to do?
There is no doctor befitting a title to fix dreams. No pill will
generate a stronger will, no surgeon can implant a spine.
So laying in bed, the pillow dreanched with the tears clutching to
blankets as if they will save a soul from drowning, I lay looking at
the painted ceiling. Bare and infertile it bores back at me with an
eyeless gaze.
It mocks me.
It all mocks me.
It boasts of its unfeeling. It's inability to feel pain, loss, broken desire, and failed love.
And I reply with tears. My ability to appreciate gratitude, laughter, a
tear, a kiss, a simple embrace. But now I'm not sure if I responded
correctly. Me thinks I envy the inanimate. Though cold and unfeeling.
They might still pocess beauty-which is commonly envied amoungst the
animate- and still know no pain. At times it makes me wish I were more
like them. So the question will remain in my mind but never spoken. . .
