Relief

You're there, so close

I'm reaching

You're in my grasp

You're slipping

I'm holding tight

Not tight enough

Land far below

Too far

You're falling

I'm screaming

You're silent

You're watching

I'm breathless

You're betrayed

No time

To save you

I'm waking up

To the relief of knowing

It was just a dream.

  • Lullaby

    Carried by the songbird’s wings 

    Through forests bright, caverns dim, 

    Flying in the wild wind.  

    Tears have been shed and goodbyes have been said 

    And the light is leaving from your eyes.
