To me it felt like slipping
and falling from the dream
panic my first reaction
so lost that I could scream

the fall was long and windy
full of question and despair
but as the plummet lingered
tranquility filled the air

with nothing to hold on to
control a distant friend
white-knuckled grip replaced by hands
now used to break the trend

it is quite amazing
when a fall turns to a float
held up and unrestricted
just like water to a boat

at first it was a horrific
life just tearing at the seam
but inside my nightmare
I slipped and fell into my dream
