A Fleeting Dream

I dreamt

I was beside

you

We were

on the coast

of Lantana

You got up

dressed

and looked

The ocean

was grey

and calm

The waves

ebbing

slowly

Your stomach

was flat

and shimmered

then

you walked

away

I sat

motionless

and gazed

Visions assault

but my eyelids

were closed

A boat

on the

horizon

A wall

being built

behind me

An old lover

stared at me

from the stars

An impassable

cloud lingered

in my head

Clarity

shone through

the rain

I got up

turned

shocked

The wall

was higher

than me

You were

gone, but

I hear you

I walked

into the sea

arms crossed

A cool breeze

struck me

on the face

My feet hit

the ocean

and curled

It was warm

and turned

into blue

I continued

until I

was submerged
