Permanently placed.
Soft touch, a
lasting impression
where it counts.
I feel it.
You might
sometime try
to scour or scrape, but
you will never erase
the fingerprints
you left
on my heart.

what I might see. . .
. . . and
who will come and
sit quietly
as I dream
mouthful of emotion
colours wrapped
in silence
immobile motion
even visible
but. . .
only to me
not even an audience
could know
what I might see
but perhaps
would settle
for dreams
of their own© 2017 j.g. lewis

a little easier
In tomorrow’s light,
things will look a lot
less frightening.In tomorrow’s light,
maybe we can find
our way.With tomorrow’s light
it might seem
a little easier.In tomorrow’s light,
may we find comfort
throughout the day.© 2020 j.g. lewis

where thoughts flow and dreams escape
You’ve been dreaming as long as you’ve been living. Restful or restless, the visions, images, thoughts and ideas that come to you at night play a major role in how we function during our waking hours.
Dreams are a part of living and, for many of us, a reason to live.
We all know what it is like to dream — a natural function, all done during the tranquil hours where the body is immobile — but few take the time to capitalize on the train of thought that flows through the mind while the rest of you is motionless.
Your mind is a flurry while sleeping, recounting people; places, scenes and faces; deep thought and deeper fears are all a part of your dreaming state. Whether frustration-fuelled or alcohol-kissed, thoughts travel far and wide throughout the mist. Never is the mind still. Research indicates the mind may be more active, and more powerful, during sleep than it is while you are awake.
We are always thinking while we dream, but how often do we take the time to consider how we dream, or why? Although it is an activity we partake in for more than a third of our lives, do we ever give sleep (or the act or art of sleeping) our undivided attention?
