I walked
into the ocean
until my feet
no longer touched
and I went under
until I could not breathe

and started to tread

in my delirium
I heard your voice
and followed
until I could go no further

I floated
on my back
until the sun broke
the horizon in an unhurried
decent

Suffocating one, my friend ;) . Until breath is taken, at least.

Thank you, dear. The images surfaced from a dream as I rose this morning.

Welcome. You know, Polish literary critic Henryk Bereza was known for his keeping a kind of diary filled with self-commentaries to his dreams ;) .

I think there are quite a few folks that have, actually. I sure do. ;)

Carl Jung is another good example.

Ah, ok :) . Yes, it is quite international habit. I doubt whether he keeps diary of it, but Dalai Lama made several remarks on observing and analyzing his own dreams.

hehe... That's left to the fate of the circumstances.

I’m just uncontrollably the devil’s advocate... and thus it felt open ended. And not finite. And hopeful.

@mamadini | June 14, 2018, 9:12 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

And it could be those things. ;)

I love the role of the devil's advocate, it's needed and helps present balance.

Makes me think of those Sirens of Greek mythology, luring the adventurer away from safety. Sounds like you've been stranded in the nether zone between the two ;) Such tender phrasing, and with a great tranquility in that last stanza, almost like a sigh. Congrats on the MSP selection - it's very much deserved!

Thank you for the Congrats and lovely words. <3

I was feeling some of that Undine energy when I wrote this -- how treacherous seemingly sweet things can be. ;)
