Dreamer
In the dark ink of sleep when
time stops like frozen ants,
I am surrounded in a dream where
a candle light is burning and
I can see you slowly turning
Twoard me. I hear a wind chime tinkling
in a warm moist breeze, hanging
by a thread in a silhouetted tree
as a cream filled cloud
in a silver moon sky like a silent giant
ghost ship slowly glides by,
throwing pale blue reflections off
a black glass bay where the water
makes no ripples
where there never comes the day,
Then I pass — then I pass — then I pass
myself falling, very slowly falling,
and I'm getting smaller
and you're getting taller
and it's feeling funny
butterflys are floating, very gently
growing, inside my tummy,
and there's no up there's no down
there's no sound turn around
I have found there's a light
at the end of a bend, and I can see
your face, in the candle flame
and I can hear your voice
whispering my name.
