Look, here is a puzzle.

A mystery for you to solve.

You don't have the answer?

You're meant to have them all.

Just read the signs, in faces, reach out,

but never call. Don't ever ask the questions,

that's against the rules. You are the only one

that find the silence cruel. Only you find it to be

troubling. Everyone else can play this game, no problem.

Oh, if I could command the waves,

Bid them hush, their wild tongues stilled,

I would pave a tranquil path, a mirror of longing, for your return.
It lives
in the margins
betwixt and between

Visible
yet fleeting
a light once unseen

When reaching
to touch
its magic forestalls

Lost to that
moment
— posterity calls

(Dreamsleep: December, 2024)
Are dreams meant
to be mastered?
I doubt such a plan..
Try and recall all the
dimensions we frequent in REM.

Bedrooms and hallways it’s always the same..
Uncomfortably lost
in an eternal maze…

An institution of collective dreamers, all trying to escape!
Then quickly forgetting
when we awake..

What is that voice that is not us,
Why are we hiding and gathering all this stuff?

Nature always has a plan
somewhere in the DNA
of being human..
Traveler Tim

If you live to be 80, Six years of the 80 will be while your dreaming..
obsidian night
black cat is it’s sly shadow
a moon in eclipse
Rejoice one and all
For today is Christmas
Decorate the hall
For today is Christmas

Take out the fairy doll
For today is Christmas
Hang her on the tree in the hall
For today is Christmas

Wrap your presents neatly
For today is Christmas
Present it to relatives sweetly
For today is Christmas

First, remember our Lord
For today is Christmas
For he was the son of God
And today is Christmas

Be charitable today
For today is Christmas
Be happy thro’ the day
For today is Christmas

Decorate the crib
For today is Christmas
Do not tell any fib
For today is Christmas

Eat, and be merry
For today is Christmas
Bring out the holly and cherry
For today is Christmas

Spend the day in visiting
For today is Christmas
As well as in feasting
FOR TODAY IS CHRISTMAS
