Knew...

Knew... (I sometimes have very "relaxing" dreams)

Drifting among the mist covered lake

I feel below something I know, but avoid for my own sake

It turns the waters gently as I wander among the never-nearing shore

As eyes close & open, it whispers to me, like a ghostly friend, always wanting to know more...

Sunset let's old regret again come to mind

As waves grow from all I know, my being begins to unwind

Slowly grasping my every heart-string, the silent once again begin to sing

As I take my last breath above, with eyes open, I'm pulled far below the surface clear

Toward a time & place with no limit, no fear...

Hymes of better times ring about in my head

To the blur with no need cure, I go toward a place beyond the dead

Cold to the touch, yet yielding such a warm smile

It's face ever-changing to what's wanted, I can't help but stare a while

Seconds away from too much, too far, too late

Again, somehow different than an enemy or friend, I stare & share my reasoning with what I would assume is a being known as "fate"...

Time passes faster than one could expect, leaving in a blink, lifetimes worth onto reflect...

Broken in assurance, with me, it seems to give another chance

As I float back up, it sits quietly at the bottom, never needing a second glance

As I drift up into what I know, always knew, since the beginning of its inevitable end

I break the surface, breathing possibility deeply, as I look down, searching for my distant...somewhat-friend...

With the waters unclear, I find myself suddenly able to stand

The water now no deeper than my hand

The shore only a step away...

In this cloudy water, it seems, only my dreams were meant to stay...

The ground so soft, I sit before I again lay

Awaiting the time, to get up & greet another day...

"Looking back, forward, to each side..."

"Regardless, it's still a mess if you have so much to hide..."

"Try, before you simply ask why..."
