Like You

Like you ... I dream of drifting away on a sunny day high above the cottony stuffed clouds I'll glide erasing all the hurtful feeling inside a season of fear will somehow disappear and I'll be free ...like you... you see Crazy you say ... My dream with Prince Charming happy endings filling out candy corn fields of sugary substance not slowing down to lick the wounds of old I'm told too bold to wallow in the worries that others have laid down at the foot of empty Like you... Love dances off the lashes longing to look past the surface wiped down with yesterday's cloth soaked in the tears of disgust crying out to be held at bay where the footprints have walked into the kiss of tomorrow's setting sun

Like you, Tim, I've dreamed of drifting away on clouds, even on the darkest of cloudy days. I like the lines, "I'm told too bold to wallow in the worries that others have laid down at the foot of empty." Wallowing in worries gets us nothing but more worry. This write is exceptionally well done.
