awake lies dreaming

my sad is dreaming awake
clutching fingers grasping
for threads gossamer away
web memories tangled
of us in winter again
i grew cold since then,
you see, cold left standing
of hollow of tree seeking sleep
when all my awake lies
dreaming

      A few even made up wholesale when I can’t find a word that suits the moment. 😂

      Thanks!

    “dreaming awake” is a great term and I love what you did with these. I might need to write one with those words.
