A sea of fear

 


I feel you in our shared dreams.

We both see the same places,

the same abstract scenes,

the same visions.

Those same twisted faces with

the same vicious leers.

Two ships adrift over stormy

cascading waves.

Memories become

blotter paper smudging

the ink smeared page.

 

I see you over on the other side

of the sleep veil, a boat sailing,

with light slowly failing,

lost without directions.

No compass, no maps,

no magnified view,

just the frail internal feeling

of a scream

waiting to be born anew.

The sound of the universal snap,

when the threads

have been pulled too tight,

when demons invade your nap

and won’t leave your side.

 

I owe you an explanation…

The ship you are sailing

was one drawn in my dreams,

built by dream hands,

to help you find dry land.

I owe you an apology,

I knew that my words

could plant trees in deserts

and create forests from waterfalls,

but I never knew

they were also a sirens call

for monsters to follow

and break down the walls.

 

All I can do now

is offer some light.

I paint a moon big and bright.

I pull the clouds apart

to share the starlight.

A guidebook in the sky.

If any beast gets close,

I'll form a mountain of hope,

to keep you safely apart,

as you sail peacefully home.

To the place built from my heart,

where the sun shines daffodil smiles

and my fields of love

go on for miles and miles.
