Today
I unlocked
a new window
One
I had never
opened before
Air
rushing in
calling me back
Voices
familiar
yet foreign to name
And
as I passed through
that new window
Leaving
behind
what used to be me
Losing
my shadow
to futures long past
Reaching
for something
—becoming the dream

More fluid and "natural" than your usual tight diction. I like them both. This one is fragile and sensitive.
Thanks so much.
Dear Kurt,
So glad you penned this āDreamsleepā. Itās difficult for me to find the words to express how I felt/feel reading and rereading āBecoming The Dreamā.
All I can say is that itās one of my favorites. Kudos to you my dear Poet.
