Dreams

I am quiet;

I am soft;

I am endless as the night.

I am bitter;

I am sweet;

I am more and less than fright.

I am quick;

I am fleeting;

Warm as death and cold as knives.

I am burning;

I am freezing;

In this cycle we call life.

Life is quiet;

Life is endless;

Life is bitter;

Life is sweet.

Life is quick and

Life is fleeting;

Life is all I want and need.

Stars are stars,

The ocean, water;

Fish are fish

Beneath the sea.

Birds are birds,

Their wings are fleeting;

Feathers high

As are my dreams.
