Fiction ©Molli Paige

Awake, half dreaming

in a sensible state of confusion

is this real, or is this fiction

maybe it's our reality, that is the deception

Staring up into the night, the stars, the universe

...so many questions floating to mind

clouds riding the wind, undeterred and silent

the leaves, stealing what's left, whispering in the night

The light of the moon casting shadows

impressions of seemable despair

daunting any particular reasoning

eyes wide, we try to see, to predict

the flight of the sparrow

and question dreams of tomorrow

Remnant scars shouldn't impose on our direction

just transitory reminders of where we have been

with tears, echoing the past and awakened sorrows

leaving us dazed, deprived and slightly dejected

analyzing, justifying, words said and unsaid
only a quiet mind, let's the puzzle fall into place

The fire hissing, crackling

the flames splitting
as if trying to break free

as if trying to release some inner demon

giving the perception

of some illusive scene

Still awake, half dreaming

still in a state of confusion

is this real, or is this fiction

maybe...our reality is the deception

Sleepwalkers ©Molli Paige

From this vantage point, it’s crazy clear

There’s some who get it, but most just live in fear

There’s some who try, and the rest just sit there

Pacifiers, blinders, in a slumber unaware 

      A Stepford Wives complex in full affect

Shhh, keep sleeping, there’s nothing to see here

But I digress

   I’d rather converge on the some

The some who get it and the some who want to hear

The some who are finally waking from the daze, 

from a slumber of a deep conditioned space

The ones yawning, stretching and standing on their feet

Questioning why 

  Questioning the flaws in the way things are

In fact, I must say...if baffles my mind

How anyone out there is NOT opening their eyes!

To see there are birds falling dead from the sky

Or that there are fish dying, washing up before our eyes

Multiplied earthquakes, tornadoes, floods and anomalies unexplained 

Science meant to be used to discover, has been used to destroy

Chemtrails, pesticides, chemicals and more, 

poisoning our bodies and the land we tread

               The definition of extinction has always been at a distance

          It’s time to revisit the meaning and realize 

     Just how vulnerable we are in this human condition

We stagger and stumble in full repetition

Bringing things to the point of no repair, the universe will interfere

Go ahead and stay in simulated sleep, 

shhh, there’s no need to wake

It’s okay, I guess

Eventually, the bed will shake

go ahead, keep listening to the lullabies and fairytales

I have chosen to tune in, to something beyond

I’m fully awake and listening with all that is me

to a hemisphere awash with everything that is out there

everything that flows in and out and through all that we are...

Clarity comes within a flicker of a flame

Look away, blink and it may never come again

Sit with content

Run and leap in step with your heartbeat

Look and take in with full realization,

that each moment is no better then the next

Each moment there's something to see

Each moment is a smile in waiting

A cloak surrounds our soul
sometimes

Our windows to the world

dirtied with our own

surmise

No cloth in our hand

to wipe them clean

Standing, turning around

surrounded with only

the walls and webs we spin

If all this time

life has been a masquerade,

a play on stage

Who am I?

The enchanter,

or the enchanted?

A puppet with strings,

and who’s the master?

Invisible ties, keep us together,

not even science can measure

A unique calculation

of incalculatable fractions
