Walking into the Dreamland: Poem

 

Walking Into the Dreamland

You came to me at night.

I did not fight.

I walked in the dreamland,

Holding your hand.

My dreams belonged to you.

They do, out of the blue.

Quite confidence of intimacy

That did not ask permission

For a nighttime intrusion.

It is about access

And reflects on something deeper

Called recognition,

Reframing ownership, not possession

Of the protective sense,

More like mutual residence –

The way memories are arriving.

A gentle surrounding

As a reminder

And acknowledgement of a bond

Passing the gates

Of the fence

And making new space

To rearranging the place

For the soul and grace.
