The Dream that was Not

Drifting, I woke,

dreaming, I thought,

as I saw you dance amongst the rings of Saturn.

Running, I fell,

lost, can’t tell,

If I can reach you before I start to burn.

Drifting, I woke,

dreaming, I thought,

as I saw you sing above the clouds of Jupiter.

I swam through space,

listening to grace,

until a black hole sunk me deeper than ever.

Drifting, I woke,

dreaming, I thought,

as I saw you hopping swiftly from star to star.

Reaching, I tried,

succeeding, I lied.

The meteor looked nice as it took me far.

Drifting, I woke,

dreaming, I thought,

I saw you in red in the deserts of Mars.

Fading, disappearing,

desperately I tried breathing.

A storm of dust sent me back towards the stars.

Drifting, I soared,

dreaming, no more,

as the blue planet smiled beneath our feet.

“It’s time to go home” I said,

“Not yet” you plead,

“My place is here, until my heart’s final beat.”
