At midnight laying in quiet darkness, seeking elusive altered consciousness. The dream sought is just an indiscernible thread hidden among dark dreamstuff weavings. More memory than imagining, never found. Always finding only dreams not wanted.Remembering flight brings sweet melancholy. Lightness, distance, freedom, almost happiness.
As a child flying through every night, day hours crept by with longing for bedtime. Chance to shed so much weight, sad burden accumulated living ten short years. Nighttime, disconnected from that “reality”, experiences seemed crisp, sharp, tangible. Those daytimes, memories are smudgy, indistinct, surreal.
Drifting off, sloughing baggage, shucking inhibitions, clothes too, I flew.
Lost Dreamer

Melancholy and bittersweet.
What a wonderful picture of Orion among the stars... (and how appropriate!)
