Dream Light

Dream Light

I am here

Lost in what I know

Lost in the past

Lost today

Wandering inside

I can't leave myself now

Not like before

This dream is real

Full of disappointment

But always hope that fails

I need you

But cannot find you

I am banging my head

Against visions

Harder than any metal

They won't leave until

Your breath unfolds beside me

It will release me into dream light

Bright darkness full of me

Ready to wander the halls

Ready for revelation

I slip away

A deep breath draws in

And exhales

Exasperation tumbling

I am here in the sound of traffic

My stomach rumbles across

Distant roads

Hungry for meaning
