That last desperate flamboyance of wallowing in a world of wishes…
Blissfully ignorant…
Only to wake to the insidious lie hidden in time…
Brought forward to wake you from the otherwhere of this evanescent dream…
Dividing itself from reality through a gossamer veil…
Echoes of reminiscence whisper from the other side…
Memory by memory…
Fading…

What a beautiful addition to the Dreamscape. So beautiful, and yet you portray such a sadness that you can feel it coming through the veil.
A short piece of prose, but it comes across so well, the waking up and finding an unexpected sorrow. You really know how to bring in the reader so that they feel rather than read your poetry. A veritable skill worthy of some of the master poets.
The images you find to go with them are magnificent. Fantastic.

I find that, over time, my perception is changing. Perhaps the reality, which I initially so carefully constructed and reasoned, was but a defense mechanism; and it’s only now, after that required passage of time has elapsed, that I allow myself to awaken from that blissful ignorance.

Otherwhere, I like that word, it is the place where your Dreamscape resides. Tangible but mysterious, a bit like me, except that I’m neither of those things.
The inevitable jolts of life, reminding us of former,happier times are something akin to a huge speed bump on a long trip…these thoughts and memories are wonderful creations though and there are ones you will always treasure.
Oh and by the way, who took that audition photo of you for the next Bond credits?
