poem

There are travelers

1 min read

who don't need feet to walk. — There are voices

who don't need feet to walk.
There are voices
that don't need mouths to speak.
And there are spirits
who no longer have bodies...
but somehow,
they still feel like themselves.
They carry something with them.
A memory.
A feeling.
A sadness.
Love.
Sometimes even humor.
And I've learned
that not every conversation
needs words.
Some spirits speak through images.
Some through feelings.
Some through sudden thoughts
or memories.
And sometimes...
they meet me in dreams.
Right there on that strange edge
between sleeping and waking.
That place where you're not
completely here...
but you're not completely
somewhere else either.
I've often wondered
if dreams are meeting places.
Places where consciousness
doesn't need a body
to recognize another consciousness.
