AND SOMETIME THIS I WILL DREAM AGAIN,
AND ALL WILL BE REPEATED, ALL BE RE-EMBODIED,
YOU WILL DREAM EVERYTHING I HAVE SEEN IN DREAM.
TO ONE SIDE FROM OURSELVES, TO ONE SIDE FROM THE WORLD
WAVE FOLLOWS WAVE TO BREAK ON THE SHORE,
ON EACH WAVE IS A STAR, A PERSON, A BIRD,
DREAMS, REALITY, DEATH – ON WAVE AFTER WAVE.
NO NEED FOR A DATE: I WAS, I AM, AND I WILL BE,
LIFE IS A WONDER OF WONDERS, AND TO WONDER
I DEDICATE MYSELF, ON MY KNEES, LIKE AN ORPHAN,
ALONE – AMONG MIRRORS – FENCED IN BY REFLECTIONS:
CITIES AND SEAS, IRIDESCENT, INTENSIFIED.
A MOTHER IN TEARS TAKES A CHILD ON HER LAP.

〈AND THIS I DREAMT, AND THIS I DREAM〉
--------------
This poem was from a massive research period before 2019 COVID hit.
At the time I was doing an intl performance exchange and gonna premiered a new
stage play abroad.
Excited. They had a theater company that I sincerely loved their
work too.
This was part of the making-of pre-production research period for me.
dig dig n more digging in.
Somehow this poem resonated with what I was creating back then.
Then COVID came, we couldn't go.
Then now.
Slowly open the Pandora's box, looking thru the kaleidoscope visions :))
*Also dedicate this poem above to my bros spirit, today is his passed-away anniversary. RIP to all passed souls. Death Rebirth is just another layer of dreams.
