The dream that escaped
Composed in 2022 under my pen name 'Advayn', published on the app Mirakee now known as Miraquill. Modified and republishing here today.
It was tangible - that dream, crystal clear visions,
intricate details, vivid colours, a sequence of known faces;
Some connected the dots, some in random order.

It was just before I woke up.
It was so clear. Yet, it slipped away without a trace.
It's somewhere in my subconscious,
Still vivid, still real.

I know, because I remember.
That a dream escaped my clutches
Just when I tried holding on to it.
