Predawn
Poseidon rises
unfurls a blanket
fog, burying shore and sky
I awaken in a cloud,
set adrift
before feet
touch floor –
dream
within
a dream.

I love what you did with that photo, V.J. So you dream within a dream, too? I don’t know many others who do that. Recently I dreamed within a dream within a dream. What mental dances.

I can see Poseidon! Beautiful (painting and lyrics).
Curious if you were thinking Poseidon while painting, or if he sorta leapt out demanding a poem …?

Poem came first. This is one of my photos, altered. I see Poseidon now too thanks to you! Serendipity.
