Skin of dreams

A Poem

The skin of dreams shapeshifting to answer the questions of our subconscious. What is held beneath that warm, pulsing covering? Hopes, dreams, fears — the unknown, the known. A slew of choices, wants, needs, missed opportunities and what is our destiny? Do these dreams chart our course? Does the idea, the impetus come from the messages received in slumber when we are more susceptible to persuasion? When we wake, are we clear-eyed and resolute, our stance unequivocal the end result what we battle in our dreams? The skin of dreams, that which protects the what ifs but draws us near to touch the reality.
