a dream of perception

You have these images, flashes, judgments, appearances, feelings, and thoughts that encompass the perception of people the first few times you meet them. Before you get to know them, there's this persona that differs from the perception down the road. It's almost like the image of a character as you're reading a book. That image evolves as the character does, and when you finish the book the protagonist is a whole different person in your mind--complete. Now you look back at those perceptions in the past, and they're vastly different than the complex people you know today.

a dream in the woods

I ran through these woods a year ago. I was lost, confused, angry, sad, and lonely. Wishing for a good future, wishing for friends, wishing for love. Well I found all of that. Simply one year later. Now I run through the woods reflecting on a time where I was strong and brave. I did it. I moved and moved and throughout it all, I survived. I survived because of me. Because of my friends. Because of love. Thank you, woods. For helping me cope.

a dream in a loving moment

A moment consumes you. A fulfilling love, the endless raindrops, the ballad on the radio. You realize your life could be gone in one sweep of an action. So you grasp that moment. Let it enrapture you. Cocoon you in its warm embrace, his warm embrace.
