After the pause, will our hearts beat
renewed with life, will we remember
solitude held our souls captive
there are many roads to travel
can you UN-quarantine your mind
will mysteries be harder to unravel
yesterday fades in the shadows of now
follow the treasure map of dreams
we have to find our way, somehow
creativity sails in the right hemisphere
catch an adventure on the wild side
poetry floats to our sympathetic ears
flashing out endless warnings signs
bobbling between reality and fiction
quarantine
unseen
war machine
your machine
often means
horrid scene
routine
vaccine
hexachlorophene
authority
majority
minority
Will we survive in this new world
can you UN-quarantine your mind
will the sea protect the coveted pearl
authors note: This is part of a dream I had last night
The question put forth in the dream was
"Can you UN-quarantine your mind," I was given
a notebook and this is what I woke up with.
So, there you have it, the wanderings of my mind.

Un-quarantining minds - and hearts - is essential. I really like this poem. It's fascinating what our subconscious throws up sometimes. That's where the real work of poetry happens, down there in the depths. The rest is just organisation.
ReplyDeleteThe new normal may be this way for a long time, the mind can get undone and unwrapped, but could take a while.
ReplyDeleteWow. Can you un-quarantine your mind?" That is a wonderful question, and makes me think. Wonderful writing. You have the most amazing dreams.
ReplyDeleteDreams are the doorways we walk through to a different perspective and understanding. Here you touch on so many of the questions that bedevil us--how deep is the instinct for survival burying everything else, our other instincts, our very minds and the way we think. What will be left when and if it's ever over? No one knows, but this exploration gives us a compass to steer by.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, your mind came up with something grand.
ReplyDeleteWill we be able to free our minds again? Yes, but it will take time.
Wonderfully dreamt, I'd say!
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange dream. It is a very good reflection of weirdness of these time. Suzanne of Wordpress blog - Mapping Uncertainty.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, love the rhyming scheme and the rap like section at the end...JIM
