Dream Another Dream…

I awoke from a dream,

As the rain changed direction, I exhaled a winter's breath,

A breath so cold I blew snowflakes with every word,

Tongue ice cold, I froze with every gasp,

Blanket of white serenaded my vision of a new forever,

I could see for miles,

A distant memory of sorrow,

Drenched footsteps from my past,

A morning silenced on my pillow.

A galaxy of stars disappeared in glistening sun,

I raised a smile to the clouds consuming the blue,

Roses became deep dark red once more,

With every weep of the snow, every thorn began to show,

I hear a piano in the background dwelling on yesterday,

But,

I'm not looking back,

I awake with life,

I awake with beauty,

I awake with creased petals,

Like the veins in my mortal being as oxygen flows,

Empty no more,

To mother nature I surrender,

Life itself has grown,

Oh how I wish to dream another dream...
