Dream Heart

One foot over the other

I study it

My foot sinks in to the whiteness

And then finally gasp for air as it is lifted up

Only to see a glimmer of hope

Then immediately launched back into emptiness

The story of my life

 

As I decline from weakness

In the fresh batch of snow

There is a wind that rushes over me

Death behind these eerie forest

Coming silently to greet me

 

I am conscience

That my last breaths are taking place

There is a whisper of my wishes

That escapes my gray cracked lips

 The trees sit-up to listen

And the frigid wind is silenced

 

Let the bears ingest my flesh

And let birds drink my blood

And lets the wolves possesses my bones

But do not let them take my heart

 

For my heart lets me love what is not there

In my heart there is love that circles me

Family waiting for me to dry my tears and comb my hair

Little ones that dance to the beat that my heart provides

 

O, the beauty in the world that I have yet to experience

Is implanted in my heart

And as my breath shortens

I know my visions, goals, aspirations, ideas will live on

Because my Dream Heart will cradle them forever
