Fallen Down Dreams
71591
Falling down dreaming of endless poetry and tears for all that was
never there. The breaking of a heard made of glass. The falling of a
tear that fails to pass. Look to the moon rise that will not last.
Cry for the children of ages past. Who never got the chance to be.
Never chasing butterflies or playing hopscotch in view of vases which
hold the liquid of Quiddity.
Drinking in moonbeams and silence of memories of a broken smile. Of
the tears of a child, now grown, who never learned how to laugh and
whose tears never learned how to fall.
Through it all, I am here…
Friendship and laughter with tiny glass splinters. Shards in the way.
Traveling, scavenging, hide and seek. Following, leading the way.
Mr. Birdy with the metal in your beak. So unusual. Travel the dark
with your play lists and safes. Will I ever be? Up again now as the
record plays over the same groove repeating the history of the world.
The ceremony of the innocent skips over the dance a fragile as a
pigeon egg in the dust.
Rooftops and hats. Kiss me again.
