I would not want
to wake again
if I could hold you
endlessly
in a dream

trailing my hand
through the water
for a moment
more river
than man

across the pond
I leave the fiction
of this life
behind

she slips
through my mind
again and again
no more now
than a ghost of memory

a white gate
blown open by the wind...
I wonder
what dreams await me
on the other side

clouded moon -
I'm not the man I was
even a moment ago

singing the song
of forever
ten billion suns
appeared
like daisies

that innocent glint
in your eyes
reminds me what I lost
so long ago
too soon
