Dream State

Impaired.

Is my heart
Is my dreams
Is my soul.
(at times)

Explosive.

Is my want
Is my need
Is my sadness.
(for less than mundane)

I feel lost sometimes.
As if I'm tumbling through
a forever turning
arc, spinning me into
an oblivion.

With no way to stop-
No friction beneath 
my feet. 
Oily soles running
upon silken ribbons
sliding throughout the
atmosphere.

Over and over.
Infinity's treadmill.

Losing my balance.
Losing my faith.
Losing........

Me.

I wake up from the 
dream.
Soaked in sweat
I roll over to remember;
my dreams are never
too big, nor too small.

Only lost if not dreamt.
