Blood Sap

In some stem,

Sap is like blood.

Life flows and blooms.

The mind goes and moves

From thought to thought

And fantasy to fantasy.


Dreams fade like dying trees

And surge like mushrooms after a storm.

Leaping from vaguety to vaguety,

Praying on the subconscious,

Or bringing wonderful visions

Like flowers coming to realisation.


The soil is rich

And so is the material

From which the mind draws

To create dreams.

Grass, flowers and weeds grow from that soil.

Dreams, fantasies and nightmares form out of those thoughts.


So, if a thought is the seed,

Can you imagine the tree?
