in my dream i am falling
my arms are desperately trying
to grab onto something
   anything
to help stop the descent
but i am in a free fall
twisting and turning
towards earth
riding vaporous clouds
that feed the plunge
with brisk tail winds

sensing the ground rushing towards me
i become calm
and allow myself to be taken
accepting what awaits me

awakening with a jolt
i realize the dream
and i am filled with a small sense of
sadness.
