Escape

“I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”
— Anaïs Nin

Escape into dreams
when waking feels rough
Consort with kings
and rescue princes
Dance with your demons in moonlight
comfort your shadow and make shadow birds
to accompany them in flight
Do unspeakable things
and drink deeply of Lethe’s waters to forget
saw through illusions
then when dreams become dull
escape back into waking life
another dream that beckons in morning light
where the symbols are subtler
and the words more veiled
escape, escape and return
until nothing is routine anymore.
— G A Rosenberg
