Ether Dreams

Ether Dreams Chasing all my dreams Hoping they’ll come true Watching them unravel Evaporating like morning dew Like a lacy web between two worlds So fragile and suspended Buffeted by gales of fate Pulling ‘til it can’t be mended A battle rages in me My heart and head at odds I wanted to reflect with joy Upon the path that we both trod To fight these losing skirmishes When your postures are competing Is like death by a thousand cuts Leaving you broken, rough, and bleeding

Tess, this is my 1st time reading your work, nice to meet you! Your title captured me quickly. I have been down this poignant path you established in this writing. That 2nd stanza, deeply impacting!

Drake, nice to meet you, thanks for the welcome! Thanks also for the good thoughts about my work. Many of my poems are autobiographical - sometimes it makes for the best writing. I look forward to reading your work!
