Dreaming

As the sun fell, darkness rising up, I lay my head down and dreamed; Great marvels, dead memories given life, New and fresh in the dreamscape. A once friend friends again laughter Of a weeper ringing in my ears As a child unborn asked me to dance. Then I was a child, unmarked by time With flesh of soft butterfly dust, Fragile to the dearest touch of love So that love was kept at bay. Onward in places unknown, yet familiar Through nonsense feelings and colors bright In kaleidoscopic, mismatching ways; a Journey through my deepest, unseen soul. Fire breathing leviathan, leather wings Beating back my peace in hopes of panic, Teeth gleaming an eerie blue, calling me To shrinking, trembling despair, transforming And then I was a lamb in your arms, The noise of all else fading away.
