Dream

I found myself in a dream last night

walking on thorns to get to you

I started falling upside down

and the blood rushed to my fingertips

and once I touched you, you went up in flames

I pulled the thorns out of my skin

and collected my tears in a pail

I threw the water on you to cool you down

But the fire raged to prevail

I starting humming like a bird

and grew myself some wings

I took you with me above the clouds

where the water runs in springs

The flames then ceased to raise a fire

and you were standing in a cloud of smoke

And when I looked into your eyes

It was then that I awoke
