I had a dream
Talking in forevers,
dancing with my future

Dreamt the sky bluer
Dreamt autumn brighter
Dreamt the grass softer

And in this dream
I had my hopes,
I spoke them in forevers

And in this dream
The night caught up
My feet drew weary

Dancing with my future
I lost my footing
and woke

I started walking
and didn't dream
for many nights

on tree lined trails
fall leaves cut
through brittle air

striking and beautiful
I was me
and real

Talking in forevers
I was happy
and awake

but rose lenses
and red eyes
gave way to sleep

And I dreamt
Autumn truly bright
once more

and under trees
through falling leaves
I screamed

You should know better
than to talk
in forevers.
