Dreams

I wash the windows in my mind

To look into the past
But as I scrub away the grime
I find but frosted glass

I cup my hands around my eyes
To see what I may see
I peek in darkness, black as night skies
Through smoldering stars of memories

 I focus in on what I wish
Never to forget
Images of you are faded
But I haven't lost them yet

 I feel them slip away
Through slivered cracks of golden light
But I won't lose them, not today
I won't lose them to the night

 My hand breaks through the window
And I fall into the black
I see you in a shadow
That disappears, but then comes back

I'm falling, faster, faster!
I'm as dizzy as can be
Tears run down my cheeks
They blur my vision. I can't see.

 I pull myself together
And I open up my eyes
But below I can't tell whether
I see water or dark skies

 I splash into the ocean
And I sink into the deep
You shake me in a motion
That awakes me from my sleep

 I wake up in our bed
And you hold me in your arms
You kiss my worried forehead
And tell me I am in no harm

This was awesome, brilliant, words fail - not going to say much more, just has life is all.

Truly stunning, Emma. This is definitely my favourite of yours so far. You blow me away each time. An excellent piece.

Thank you very much!

Written in less than a day, I'm sure, and brilliantly too. A natural-born poet if I do say so myself.
