09/14/25 A New Poem for a New Day

I woke up this morning to darkness
Where am I? What am I doing?
The world feels quiet, like an absent dream
What should I do now?
I sit up before realizing that I would rather go back to bed
To that bed where my rescinding dream invites me back
Where neither time nor light matter
Where I do not need a purpose to keep going

Blast from the Past:

The wave meets the beach.
Is it a beach without sand?
You’re dreaming again.
