Dreaming Awake Poem by Izik Alcox

Swimming in a dream of bubbles and clouds
Far away from the noisy streets and crowds
Its where I find you floating above all others
Asleep alone with you would be my druthers

Awoke, alone, empty,
Broke, groan, void

Self rejecting, help is on its way
Self correcting, coming here to play
Self reflecting, hopeful it will stay
Self directing, help show me the way

Asleep, together, content
Keep, feather, augment

The shades of gray and blue merge into green
Meditation always brings me to a forest seen
A bed of moss with slight sun rays between
Cracks in my covering, hidden so serene

Distortion, reality, confined
Contortion, mentality, mankind
