Images in Your Mind Make a Spiral in Your Dreams
Images in Your Mind Make a Spiral in Your Dreams
We gather golden fragments.
Collect the pieces of thoughts
made of rough-hewn wood
and polished stone.
Words inscribed on papers
made of leaves.
Arranged
so they speak to you
in whispers softly through
the layers intertwined.
Colors combine.
They build a new reality
that spirals in
to the center of meaning.
Creating the whole
out of pieces
you collected
from the musings
of your mind.
The pieces in a collage can represent how your mind jumps and moves from one thought to the next, some related, some not, until you circle back to where you began.
If you enjoyed this poem, have a look at my book, We Swallow Light. It’s an exploration of events in a past life and a refreshing take on overcoming pain and the joy of finding love.
