Divination

Have you wondered about your dreams?
Have you wondered why they disappear
into the mists of morning?
Why do dreams not linger longer than
mere minutes?
Is it necessary for us to dream?
What are we seeing?
What are we living in this state?
It is much too pervasive
to be nothing more than nothing.
There is something.
There is some reason.
We cannot explain away 
everything in this world 
through reason alone.
My mind wonders.
My mind wanders.
What could it be?
I could tell you what I think
but you'd be right to disregard me.
Perhaps I should let you wonder.
This dreaming will not leave us.
It will move with us through 
states of life, showing us 
what must be shown.
Divine meaning from images.
Read the lines in your palms.
Read the leaves in your tea.
You will be closer
than you have ever been.

whisper

Outside my window the leaves wave to me
Asking me to come outside
to get closer
they have something to say
but can only whisper it in my ear
I get out of my chair
and walk to greet them
Closer they say
Closer
Then voices as old existence
speaking clearly
imploring
to listen and never repeat
their words
So I haven't

Leaves Speaking

The leaves are restless
and have begun to speak in waves.

Are they speaking to the Sun?
Is there an urgent message for me?

I'm not sure. I am listening,
hoping to decode an ancient tongue.

underwater

Leaves rustled and did their best 
impression of ocean waves.

I closed my eyes
and couldn't tell the difference.
