Inspired by the dream I had the other night...

HERMETIC DREAMING

Finally, though it seems so long since last,
she comes to a new theme
that does not remind her
of something already passed.

The smooth illusions of beauty
short circuit and reveal themselves
as empty
and as she plunges into baptizmal oceans
of inner clarity
suddenly the flaws in truer dreaming
become again most captivating.

Vibrant colours bleed and fade
into calming shades.
Blemishes illuminate the coldest face
and let her soul relax
into leaden grace.

Dull secrets comfort weakened hearts
and hermetic love needs no introduction.

Nice quote (may be paraphrased slightly) from Osho.com:
"The only difference between illusions and reality is that illusions leave you no room to doubt."
