Where Do Dreams Go

It was so bright..

Every colour, every shade

In firelight, in rain, in snow

Any place, any time, anywhere

It was a dream of love

Of passion, tears, and joy

Of peace, of silence

A dream to last a lifetime

I held on to it- it gave me life..

Untill, I looked the other way

Or how?

It shattered

My dream

Fantasy

Illusion

What was it

Where has it gone

I see scraps of my shattered painting..

The art of my soul

Raindrops and bright flames

Eyes and hearts so full

Dissipate

I ache I hurt I long

To close my eyes

Blow you into a safe bubble

A perfect swirling multicoloured bubble

Send you someplace simple

Someplace where you can come alive

Unhindered, unaltered

Free

To live
