Michael J. Falotico Poet Couplet

A Glass Dream

Encased in glass, I'm stuck in the sand...
Climbing up the sides, I slide and land...
Struggling to walk up steps made of water...
The top so far away as the vision does flutter...
Halfway up I see its not a place where I could breathe and stand....
Just a dimmer of light that pours down to reach my hands...
Now my fingers loose their grip and the vision becomes small...
Now I'm chasing reflections down a dream flooded hall...
I've given up and will lie outstretched in the sand...
Blowing kisses to the sky where a light touched my hand...
