One of my more surreal works, in a collection of poetry that I am working on. Enjoy","content":"Dream Long, Dream Lost\n\nI dreamed of a tree\n\nAnd the tree was good\n\nAnd the sky was red\n\nWith all the things that should.\n\nYou turn around and go the\n\nOther way\n\nTo the forlorn place where\n\nThe dead ones lay.\n\nFor the truth of the world\n\nIs repeated again\n\nAs the worlds collide\n\nAnd creation ends.\n\nI trust in this heart that was\n\nNever mine\n\nAnd hope lamb and wolf\n\nCan both walk the line?\n\nWhy do I cry?\n\nWhen there's no one there\n\nAnd pray for the best\n\nWhen they all can't care.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe wind cries. The moon waits.\n\nThe sun shuts out the dark lit gates.\n\nDreams they haunt.\n\nMemory lingers.\n\nImagination just lifts a finger.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAnd laughter is there in\n\nThat of possibilities\n\nLost.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
