A Deam Within A Dream Poem by Jeremiah Wimbrough

'A Dream Within A Dream'

The world is sane,
that's what they think anyway.
The world is just a dream within a dream.
A dream where the boundaries
which divide life from death
are at best shadowy and vague.
Who shall say where the one ends and where the other begins?

Only the dead know.

Because they are finally out of this impossible dream.
Floating in an empty sea of darkness.
In the line between life and death because they have lived
and experienced death.

And that my friends is where the sanity becomes the insanity.

Slowly losing all sense of time,
because there is no time in that boundary.
We are all destined to rest there for eternity.
That is when we shall reach equilibrium.
