I had a dream once
Or maybe it was a memory
Half-awake into my sleep,
A step away from oblivion
Two from euphoria
Standing on the edge
Feeling the cold wind
Brush away the dirt off my bare feet
The branches reach out
To the sunlight that will never come
The silent dominion of the shadows
Run far and wide into the night
I met myself there
Or maybe someone else
Among the field of thorns and decaying wood
We felt at home we never knew we had
I don’t write anymore
At least not for myself
The sound of thunder in the distance
Reminds me of the approaching storm
As the black veil of reality rids me of my former self
Let the rain spill where they may
I had a dream once
Or maybe just a forgotten memory
