Unsettled, the skies weep
With darkened eyes, clouded
The sun, continues to sleep
Masked, hidden, shrouded
By haze and smoke that lingers
Though flames, nowhere, can be seen
The air, so thick, through my fingers
I am lost in an unending dream
Floating endlessly, eyes unaware
There are others who journey, too
Each of us spaced, obsidian glare
No chance for our sight to renew

In a dream, she sails
To faraway places
Hoping, at last
To find out what space is
A bag fully packed
She reaches for the sky
Balloons, shaped like planets
Will help her to fly
A billion stars fill the night
Oh! How they shine!
A little girl and her dreams
How I wish they were mine…

But to take a step, to dream
To rise above, to the extreme
To far off lands, and unknown worlds
Where imagination becomes unfurled
A single page, an open book
You need do nothing more than look
Then read the words, escape the norm
Lose yourself, inside the storm
Of fantasies, through pages turned
To find the life, you’ve always yearned

A light from above, ethereal, beams
Illuminating thoughts, sacred dreams
Where reality is no longer as it seems
The illusion becomes too real
I look up to the moon, see her smile
Wondering if she’ll let me stay awhile
Ah, but too far, so many miles
Still my heart, she sweetly heals
An open window, and I shiver
This luminous orb, makes me quiver
While fantasies, she does deliver
Keeping me on an even keel
Alas, my eyelids begin to close
This is her magic, I suppose
Sweet Luna, you’re the one I chose
Only you know how I feel…

Lines, once hidden,
Have grown bolder now;
No way to hide them,
Can’t disavow.
Months of worry,
This illness claimed;
To live with this,
A horrid change.
Takes courage to fight,
The strange, unknown;
A weakness,
I must not condone.
Make time to rebuild,
No reason to preclude;
Dreams, tucked away,
Need be, pursued.
Not sure where I’ll land,
Nor at what stage;
But this much I know,
I have surely aged.
