Snake Dream

Life is a dream

 a mere dream floating on thin ice

a world where darkness overwhelms

a world where shadows dwell

a simple dream of future or past

wraps like a snake around the mind

life is but a mere dream

a simple but complex satisfactory 

a world that branches and repeats, curls and intertwines

a plce of better understanding

or bitter illusions

life is a dream of wonders

a dream neverthless we wake up from
