Recap, rewind revise
A swirling roller coaster of images
And suddenly
Off axis, off focus and awake
Upright and uptight
The fall softened
By the mellow yellow of daylight
Question to self
Is this a dream?
Behold the feathery footsteps
Enter the angel of deliverance
Cloaked in white
Magical, surreal ethereal
Reality I can hear, see, smell and touch
Ruffling the bed of my consciousness
The relief of stating the obvious
Mutual recollections
Of the journey beyond
Heartily approved and endorsed
Timid questions and definite answers
Truth shy behind the curtains
Shamelessly naked in the spotlight
Love’s lottery sent back
Hidden closeted
Unheard unseen undetected?
Fool!
Ah what could have been
Do you not see?
Even the shadows escape
The future closes the door on the present
A coward, unready to face and embrace.

‘Ruffling the bed of my consciousness’ What is the truth, what are the realities, what are the opportunities lost? All of us are cowards at some point in our lives when we know the opportunity is for our taking and yet find it too cumbersome to embrace it. Good work Geetika!
