Dreamcatcher

There's a tree over there

that waits for its dreamer.

 

*I have survived many.

And lost much

but to tell all would encumber several human spans

because

I have lived and longed.

I have learned and yearned.

I have waited.

At the train station, where existence can only be fulfilled

via a spiritual connection.

Bounded by roots that twist and secure

Soon to be bonded with thoughts

Floating through the sky, riding the air waves, see-through till caught

in a spider's web, or something like it.

And imaginary gets real.

Take in the matter

Scrub the void with scrounged emotions and colors

Pour in materials of lint and string.

Mediums with no particular conductance,

but taught it tight

and strum till the vibrations reverberate

and bring your idea to life in my wings

Because you are my dreamer.

And I am your catcher.

Hung on a wooden peg,

in your study.

Waiting for the day you

pick me up

and all your dreams tumble out and

materialize

and you realize* who you are.

Notes

Initial idea was to describe a surreal explanation of what a tree waits for in its life. Instead I ended up with this. Tips on improvement to this would be appreciated.
