Scatterbrain Dreamer
stay off the ground
and live in lost beautiful sound
up in the clouds above
waiting and watching hummingbirds and doves
fairy tales roaming through my mind
stories like no other kind
can't see the forest for the trees
can't see what's in front of me because of this disease
but somehow I press on
and live everyday once upon
lost in my own head
rather live there than earth instead
meandering through my thoughts
some of which I've already forgot
because they go so fast
and somehow I can recall parts of the past
and it pains me
and I wish to be free
so I try to stay off the ground
and let grace abound
the odd man out
pacing about
the only time I dream is during the day
for that is the only way
to dream a dream
rather than to scream a scream
and look up high
into the azure sky
into the fiery sun
until the day is done
and do it over and over again
breathe; begin
morning calls after the howling of moonlight's end
