From a myriad of
dreams I know this place,
virgin forest pulsating
inside me—an intimate
presence I often
encounter in moments
of spatial shifts to
my innerness.
In my vision I dare enter
the shadowed wildwoods,
I’m never seen again.
Jade zephyr brushes
waxen leaves with her
emerald hues, proud
trees celebrate, swaying
in perfect unison when
no one is watching.
But this is no dream,
ten steps in and I
dissolve to consciousness.
