Analysis of Dreaming



Frozen naked burst
motionless flight sky
Immovable lake shimmering
dynamic thrust goodbye
Stillness pause explosion
glow of floating emotion
World below anchored
island colors ocean
Floating sunrays stillness
steel rings space
Straight angles curve
broken lines replace
Hanging dashes rigid
hollow orange morning
Wind wave depth
body shoulder warning
Long ago everything
laughing indiscriminate proud
Weight bearing remembrance
forgetful embarrassing loud
