presently quiet
save for the din
of your words and thoughts
random clashing
of the lucid and the dream-state
bringing you forward
current-defying
your struggle to proceed
tempered only by your state of mind

privately hoping
as the silence surrounds you
debating an outcome desired
wistful deception
how long will you hide there
leaving fate to another
quietly present
planning your escape
from one heart to the next
