When Lines Are Crossed

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake. - Thoreau

asleep in consciousness

awakened to a dream

prisoner of freedom

walking an uneven balance beam

warm breath in a cold world like falling steam

top to bottom like curdled cream

things aren't as they seem

maybe someday you'll know what i mean

kissing without a tongue

nothing is ever done

.
