Nightfall again
Heavy eyes
Heavy chest
Come to rest on the edge of sleep
Precipice of consciousness
Fall into a dream
Nightfall again
Heavy eyes
Heavy chest
Come to rest on the edge of sleep
Precipice of consciousness
Fall into a dream
Pieces of what could be
Pieces of what is
Transforming
Joining
Looking for a perfect fit
Hanging on for a second
Holding on to a day
Finality sets in
The memories fade
The odd dream of waking
Being somewhere else
Finding moments
Looking through the lost and found
Find me in the small hours
Head held in my hands
Waking from a strange place
Strange dreams
I cannot understand
Stirred from bed, I rise before the Sun
Memory grows thin
As I forget what it was
Round the bend and halfway home
In the moments between sleep
Drifting off again
Close the distance laid before me
Arriving in a dream
Awaken
Destination within reach
Questing toward new horizons
Shielding my eyes from the sun
Vast ocean before me
Shores to learn my touch
Off on the tides
I’ll arrive by still winds
I’ve been drifting through the night….
Across the world within
Uplift me
Uproot me
Plant me somewhere in the sun
Remark at my progress
Help me grow strong
For so long, I’ve waited
Wilting in the shade
Strange flower
A weed without a name
Please, press me between the pages
But before you do, help me bloom in sunlit places
Something strange in the way you set your head
Unmade by your gaze, dismantled by the vision
Often wishing, seldom coming true
Lost in a daze
Lost deep in thoughts of you
Reality, fused with fragments of a dream
Becoming seamless, building up
Piece by precious piece
I turn my gaze inward
Looking deep once again
Pulling broken thoughts from bottomless oblivion
Cutting my hands on the pieces
Fraying me
Ever in need of some stitches
Ever tearing at the seams
Patchwork life, quilted out of dreams
Lingering
Somewhere out of sight
Little active presence despite an active mind
Time passing
Whittle it away
Essence waning with each moment that I waste
Fixated on the ghosts of progress
Those lost futures that I dreamt
