Falling
Grasping at nothing
Tumbling downward
Closer to the bottom
No ground in sight
Falling
As you take that final step
Shaken as you realize
You are descending
Into nothingness
Falling
Falling
And you awaken
Heart racing
Body drenched
Relentless moments
The torment of a dream

Do not look for me
Hidden in a fort
Beneath icy snow
Still falling carelessly above
Between the daffodils and daisies
Amidst the cool grasses
Of a wakening meadow
Along the dunes on the beach
Betwixt the waves
Crashing on the shore
Encompassed by leaves
Strewn across the ground
In no particular way
In the obvious places
You presume to find
A wandering spirit
I will not be there
Instead look within and find
A life otherwise uncommon
With its own rhythm
A heart’s journey
It is there you may find
Who you are seeking
It is there you will
Find me lost

Sleep to forget
All that is, to remember
Lose yourself in a world
Of clouds and sunshine
Of stars and moon glow
Of faraway and here
Sleep
It escapes you
And finds you
At ill-chosen times
Sleep to remember
All that is, to forget

Do I dare wonder
What awaits me
A first impression
A lasting response
To the unknown
Do I trust my instinct
A gut reaction
An impulse
Or do I question
Myself, my tendency
To judge the unknowing
Defining what is wrong
And what is right
Allowing my conscience to lead me
Down a blind path
A prerequisite to knowing
What awaits me

Lingering, taunting
Drawing you into the abyss
A reminder of days gone by
Of mistakes and heartache
Of joy and happiness
Do you dare look back
Allowing it access
To the ghosts
You have forgotten
And remembered
No, no regrets
Only memories
Deeply seated within
Making you wiser
Bolder, braver
Defining the future
