I keep it hidden
In the folds of sleep,
For I do not know
Where else to keep
A feeling this fraught
That it falls in a heap
If you dare speak
About it when you are deep
In throes of reality—
Most dreams make sense
Only when we are asleep!

Ahh, Camus… I probably shouldn’t like his writing as much as I do, but I do like it quite a bit and there you go. 🙂
What a nice end to a wonderful piece. I have learned to accept that about dreams.

Excellent, Aaysid! Seems we live two lives that briefly say hello and goodbye when passing each other by. ✨

The last two lines are so true. I’ve had some incredibly cool dreams, but once I awoke I realized they were actually sort of stupid! 😀 Only in sleep do they make sense. The Camus quote is interesting–I’ve never read his work but maybe I should give it a go. It’s always a delight to read your work, Aaysid. 🙂
