Dream

D r e a m

It must be there

Buried

Deep beneath where

My awareness could not reach.

Surfaced in my unawareness

Touched my heart,

Filled me with affection

I had known only playing in his lap

But not since then

In the morning, still

Traces of that experience lingering within, I

Searched and found old family album

Looked at my uncle’s picture and

Thanked him

For visiting me last night.

It must be there

Buried

Deep within,

What I had known playing in his lap

But not since then.

Flying happens only in dream
