Sometimes I dream of sunsets and warm clouds The end to a tiresome long day I see the birds return to their little nests And how the crickets came out to play
I dream of places we used to go A path, A tree, A forest Places where I've seen rainbows without rain
It was just like I've woken up for the first time Head heavy. Eyes weary. As I sit up I got basked in yellow, comforting rays They hug me in deep embrace I sigh "It's beautiful" I said
I come to be awake But it seems like I've lost my glasses For I see no one else, but myself on that bench I tap the planks of wood that have endured rain and shine Tap, TaP, TAp But the rays hugged no one, but me Comforted no one, but me
This silence grew uneasy I focused in, squinting eyes and ears For something, someone But all I heard Was the wind rustle through the leaves And it whispered to me , "you're fine"
Was I?
This piece was inspired by recurring dreams of losing someone close to me
