Sinking In a Dream

In the quicksand of words I slowly sink…
My arms covered in letters colorfully inked… 
My footing disappears as I stare at the sky…
Screaming poetic lines to keep me alive…
My faith is inevitable through this slow descend…
Dropped into a world where hearts never bend…
Sand covered benches and a view of the sea…
Shells shaped in letters that spell out free…
I scribe in the sand everything I’ve seen…
Only to awake knowing it was more than just a dream…
