To Dream And Dream Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

To dream
And dream
Sub-conscious the
Conscious dream
To rend
The curtain that from us
Hides
The interior shard of each of
Us
The Holy Grail of the Sub-Conscious
Dream on dream
And scents and myrrh and incenses
That
Ensure that in our dream
We never cease
But
Every now and then
In alternation to the deeper dreams
We dream less and more conscious open
Our eyes to baubles
Awhile the dream that Mnemosyne
Kissed on us before our
Very first cry of birth
Before our eyes were opened to the world:
Before
Before
That be the moment that defines
Fixes and pins that we but dream
And dream
Even in the heaviest wars and functions
Of the State and all their tribe:
We dream and so continue even if
Our eyes we close
Under and in
Any circumstances
We dream; and dream and dream.
