I awoke within a dream
To the sound of doors unlocking
My gaze fixed
looking through my doorway
Pitch black
–
The screaming train from hell
came through
Manifested fur and claws
My heart pounded as it began
to suffocate me with its jaws
–
But just as I was dying
The pressure way too much
I remembered my awareness there
unbridled by its touch
–
With each crush and gnaw
My awareness it grew stronger
And with each lung that lost its air my laughter lasted longer
–
The bardo I had entered
That wrathful deity
I’d seen in my awareness a mirror
reflecting me
–
I awoke from my dream laughing
A nightmare turned a joke
The blinding light of my awareness
The fire
I will stoke
