I reach for you in my dreams
like trees reach their roots out to the farthest corners of the forest floor
like the light from stars reaches out to galaxies light years from their own
I reach for you because I know no other way
you have gone deep into the abyss and my heart feels the lack of you
so I fill my time with stitches, with sonnets and songs
I send telegrams to you via trees
I tap morse code messages into the grass
I sit in the suns setting rays and imagine you doing the same
I hope and hope and hope that somehow my words, like the light from stars
transcends space to meet you somewhere in the darkness.
I crave you like the voiceless crave waves in their throats
like the lightless crave stars in their eyes
like the restless crave the sun in their hands.
I spend my days in a half dream
an in between state
until the sun tucks its weary rays back into the earth and I can reach for you in my dreams again.
the days are no longer mine.
