Dreams awake

 ‘dreams awake’ Trgates,8/10/2025

sometimes I awake 
out of a dream,
having visited
famous and not so famous people. 
funny, they’re the same 
in the dream,
just people 
seeing each other as the same,
and our children 
aren’t being sacrificed 
to each of our being right. 
then I awake,
understanding why I pray
even though I have no idea how such works. 
closing my eyes,
somehow perhaps they’ll open
to these dreams 
awakened.
