one thousand and one dreams ago
you pierced the cityscape below
with a single word unspeakable

truth

we scattered white ash and black snow
up the spires shrouded in clouds
above the skies and higher and higher
aloof and removed from our sight

the camouflage of flawless reflections
cracked
the fortress sheltering certainties

and mile wide shadows billowed
through my memories and returned

in one thousand dreams after we woke
to the colours you called our own
shades of wisdom within
the last circle of dream catchers

where the light broke and shattered
into rainbows we could embrace
dancing under the storm ahead
and the rain of disbanded verities
