Aurora Borealis

Wrested out of mind

I lose something of myself

when my eyes open

 

The flesh I inhabit

the universe I touch

they're all made of dreams

embodied possibilities

organic machinery

built by light herself

that feverish dreamer

even dreamt herself

She sees perfection when her eyes close

She makes it so

 

Void summoned to form by the dreamer's dream

Dancers through darkness

these mere spirits, luminous yet empty,

forget where they've been,

carried upon the subtle wind to this very moment

 

Wrested out of mind

I lose something of myself

when my eyes open

 

The flesh I inhabit

the universe I touch

they're all made of dreams

Unearthly dreams
