One Single Impression: Dream

The osprey sings of the hunt

To her hungry young

And feeds them.

The deer breathes lightly

On the trumpet lilies beneath the osprey nest

And vanishes within.

The turtle stretches his neck

In the direction of the deer

And steps toward the dawn.

Great white egrets step and stare

Step and feast.

The sun rises.

Wind and current engulf me,

Telling me to go, go, go

Deeper.

“What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story, And the greatest good is little enough: for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams”

( Pedro Calderon de la Barca )
