Dreams............

I had a dream yesterday morning. I saw as beautiful a woman as I have ever seen. She was dressed to arouse the passion of the most lifeless creature............but I couldn't respond to that.
It had been so long since I'd had this dream that I didn't want to define it by what boiled in me. I wanted to waft on something ethereal. I saw it as a fragile thing, easily lost...........as something existing just on the razor edge of wakefulness.
I breathed, and drank, and tasted, and basked. It was a fine dream..........so fine that I honestly believed it to be real. So real and so fine that at one point I could see myself on my knees as earnestly thanking my creator as I have ever done.

I don't know what happened. It happened in some small moment.
I was awake...........in a worse place than I was before the dream, bereft of the hope that had sustained me, feeling as though some cruel joke had been played on me. Bewildered.........

Thus endeth the entry...........
