Listening to every heart

In flight through dream

not often,
never plenteous,
is the interval between
the extant prize

freedom

when tiredness comes
from restlessness
of soul

when one's spirit,
bound by commitment

but when
there is a span of moment
the zealous soul
can take flight, if there comes
the dream

Come, Dream

come swift interval
of inbetween, after
uneasiness
and lassitude lend
expanse between
erratic sleep
and restless groan

in Cimmerian
imagination

betwixt eyelid
and penumbra of midnight

now, attend, take Flight with me

come take height with me

as then in reverie
to see ourselves from without
and within

you, in sheerest skin

take care, not to burst the bubble
                   it glimmers luminously
vigilant not to burst the dream
                   in radiance, blinding

thus pathos steals over we
in intent dark's dream
of freedom

our arms lie quiescent,
serenely by our sides
through thought of mind only,
careful, please
take care not to burst this dream

might I, through thought
raise we up, up, beyond
the limb of the tree, breath held,

up over roofs, careful not to
touch tile, lest burst the
bubble of elevation, up, careful,
mental
image
up

don't look, don't look
but by my side, as you have
traveled upward with me,
we float over, and spy
on all below, lights of the city
bright, blinking, telling us
ascend
higher, higher

we float,
so soft, soar, so high
flighting higher, sighting skies
of firefly light
lightening bright

in thunderless night

silken robes grace our
form, soft we feel,
in all we are
warm

then extend arms
weave through
this night's time of symphony
of quiet, quiet, come
what may
in seamless dream
no flight delayed,

and tingle of skin
in translucent silvery flight
stretch your fingers, grasp
my hand,
tingle together in
paired delight

then slow, now, descent of
flight, shhhh,
stay quiet not to burst
this dream

to fall to earth
in restlessness,
tiredness as grows slight
the light,
on horizon's night,
ending now
dream of flight

praise comes to you
for attending to me

as we skimmed toward
freedom of night

in flight through dream
