Today

today

i will float 
through the hours 
like milkweed fluff
borne aloft by warmth
from a summer breeze.

I awoke, still wearing 
the gossamer mantle of dreams 
bestowed by what ever 
high being creates night 
and the living there.

my feet will barely 
touch the ground;
as my mind yearns 
ever higher to return
somewhere above.

I cannot thrive here 
on this unforgiving earth.
soon I will disappear into
the dream forever.
until then I will float.
