April is National Poetry Month.  This year, I will be posting raw, un-edited pieces throughout the month.  Here is todays piece.

Patiently holding all that lies between our hopes and fears

Surreal or so real, we learn more about perception whilst in repose

than our waking moments can teach us…

For it is that same state, at the beginning and end of a dream

that we find upon successful meditation

where awareness shifts, and we most often find that we hold the power

to change the story,

and the story moves from a reflection of our state of mind

to the actualization of anything we could possibly imagine.
