Listening to segmented selections of a whisper whilst residing within a fragmented dream. Leaving me left to wonder if I am living within an illusion that has been sanitized and cleansed beyond recognition, what has been left out of sequence. So much is missing, as if preventative measures, were once one’s preferences, all of which have taken precedence…—I regret you’re having become a victim of purification, I never
considered you to be a sanctimonious self-righteous one, but, here we are navigating the thought without malice. Though I find it inexplicable, the way you silently move about as would a shadow lurking within the dark. -I cannot feel what I cannot
touch. Referring to your shape morphing into another shape while meandering about aimlessly beneath a moonlit sky and I, apprehensively awaiting your untimely arrival.
What mysteries lie behind your closed eyes… The images you may have seen, the utterances you may have heard, all of which lie largely unrevealed and rarely spoken of. Are there whisperings that linger upon your lips awaiting a prod or two? ….And still, your eyes remain shut, and your lips do not tremble… Is there, not an utterance, an image, you may leave as a token?
–Are we left without because of your insolence? Hark, nigh has befallen us. Rest in slumber’s sleep… Forget this inquiry, if you so desire. -Nothing worse than a troubled soul, and I desire you to rest in comfort. Listening or not listening.
