I lay down in my bed

A soft cool pillow against my cheek

A hum from the fan below

I wait as my dreams reach and my brain becomes bleak


I wake floating above 

Colors at last dancing out and soaring

Swirling

Splashing down in a cove

A cove of memories full of past, present, and future things 

Broken Promises, Empty to sing


I wish that my dreams would come and go with ease

But alas, that is not my destiny

A fractured picture

A broken sight

My dreams do not last

Past the early light
