Lucid Episodes

Sometimes, my concept of reality, feels like a lucid dream.

I’m walking.

Though it feels like I’m floating, through time unseen.

Everything is still happening around me.

And I’m stuck in my mind.

I can snap myself out of it.

Just not all of the time.

I want to see how far I can get.

While being imprisoned behind my eyes.

At the same time, it’s a weightless feeling.

A calm kind of nothing.

Almost brings a sense of peace to the chaos Inside.

My subconscious lives for this blank state of mind.

It’s my spirits break from feeling claustrophobic, in a place where fantasy thrives.

Recently, I have been staying there a bit longer than I’d normally like.

I couldn’t understand and I wasn’t sure why.

Until I focused on what it was that triggered, this reoccurring episode of mine.I

found, it’s when I feel completely out of control within my life.

It offers a moment where I mentally separate myself, from this body and mind.

It’s a pause, with peace for my spirit to find.

In a chaotic world.

At least for a short time.

This occurrence is a curse.

Just as much as it is a gift.

There are times where my spirit has trouble deciphering, which is which.

I feel my conscious mind has more sense than I give it credit or like to admit.

I assume it too believes, that these spiritual and mental pauses are necessary for a spirits release for peace.

Sometimes my concept of reality, feels like a lucid dream.

Wake up, it’s all still happening.

    Look at you! Coming in with those beautiful words, where we can travel down your mind just for a glimpse. And I absolutely love those glimpses that you give! It’s even more beauty to be able to witness indeed! That ending was like pure icing on the cake! I’ll also point to one section I loved too.

    “I can snap myself out of it.

    Those lines were absolute gems too! 💎 Oh how I can definitely relate! Lol! Just like you said, it is much of a curse, as it is a gift. I always find those types of paradoxes very fascinating things to ponder on. But as much time as I both spend time not wasting, but yet some time wasting on philosophizing this or that subject, one thing is for certain…And that is you’re incredible, talented, and beautiful. Ha! Now that’s a triple threat slam dunk to the haters! Oh! And since I’m greedy for more of your beautiful words, I’ll probably be checking out some more of your back catalogue soon. I have to be careful though, because it’s going to really suck when I run out of old stuff to read from you. Then I will have to learn patience then. 😂
