I'm watching as
they slowly fall
And crash down
upon the rocks along
the shore -
They said to
let your dreams
fly free but all
they did was
Soar
Soar, for a moment
too near the sun
And with dripping
wax and scorched
wings, my dreams,
they all lie
dying.

i would love to
disappear,
float away on
the ocean in
a string of
bubbles on the
water.
blue, green, blue
and nothingness
all
gone
away

The golden petals dance
in the spring sunshine
newly born from
the hazed, grey fog
of winter to
smile in all their
newness and delight
at the universe.
Oh small petals
fluttering in the breeze
how you little you know
of hardship and
travail - and yet
your gladness melts
the sadness lying
in my heart -
even if it's only
for a moment.
