I like this one. It draws attention to the shift between sleep and wake. Ramana Maharshi in particular speaks about the value of comparing the sleeping state to the waking state. The purity that becomes infiltrated by all the mind stuff that pours in when our dreams leave us and the day to day creeps in.
I do love the early morning feeling between sleep and wake… dream mixes with waking sights and feelings and it is almost as if the dream embodied floats out the window… this haiku says it best! I should keep quiet and watch!

I also write very short poetry. Please feel free to check it out at Short Zen Poems – Koans Quotes Parables
There’s a nice ethereal quality to this one and a consistency of light and openness.
I’m saving this one in my haiku folder.
Mmmmm, I like this. Not wanting to wake from a wonderful dream, darn the light.
Very evocative. Well done.

Thank you for letting your dream go,
become poem, join
the world outside, in a dream
Like this poem so much
don’t want to let it go
as it floats by
nothing to do
but let go,
awaken
Loved this; read it after returning from a weekend Dream Therapy course !
