cocoon of fantasy.




                Sleeping in the safe folds 
                of the cocoon of fantasy,
                      I weave dreams,
            dreams to cover the nakedness,
                            of reality.

                               Wake up,
                              Shake up,
                          scan the world.

                            Nay, I prefer
                     to close my eyes to
                       the blazing truth.

                        The harsh reality
                  withholds the dreams,
                         sleep eludes.

                               I hibernate
                        to escape reality.
                          but how long?

    Sometimes reality does keep us from finding rest. I'd guess that we can't hibernate for too long.

    Your first stanza applies to all writers, I think :)

    Beautiful lines. All of them! :)
    "I weave dreams,
    dreams to cover the nakedness,
    of reality."

    So tempting just to float in that vat of briny and never emerge ....

    It would be so easy to sleep our lives away and avoid reality...but then we would miss our chance at living. Very poignant post. ♥
