Dream in Poetry & Free Verse

Remember this

While we are falling forwards through this blue haze of time

Remember this: gravity is not a line and neither are you

Remember things are always changing and it's not your fault

Sometimes it's my fault and sometimes it's nobody's

Remember I will always be apologizing for the things I haven't done

What I should have done: stayed by your side into eternity

But I haven't before

And I won't always

Remember I am flawed, even more flawed than you

(we are always laughing or crying about this)

I don't want to say there's nothing you can do

Remember, there is always something you can do

And sometimes that something isn't anything

Remember this and remember me:

You are not a line, you are a circle

Always returning to our point in space

Even after I leave you to drift alone through the vagueness of reality

Falling

We look to the sky

we say that’s our limit

And yet

We are afraid to touch it

We look to the ground

and believe

Thats our anchor

And yet

If we fall

We worry about when we hit it
