Lucid

A dream

By Ashley YoungPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

I dreamed...

I wished I could fly higher,

I did.

I dreamed I could drop into the deepest ocean,

I did.

I breathed underwater,

And did not drown.

I broke the surface to find others wading to shore in a trance..

I flew again,

Between people; unnoticed.

I saw a man,

I wanted his attention,

So I knocked off his hat,

But I did not see his face.

I wished I could,

But I woke up,

Because it was only a dream.

A moment of no burdens,

And free from not being a burden,

Flying high, going deep,

Unseen, In a dream.
