We are the author of our own dreams

We struggle
We rise
We fall

And for a moment, 
We lay nestled between, 
Nowhere and Eternity.
      And it has somehow all been worth it.

Such beautiful stories we spin.
Soliloquies softly spoken through the language of the heart.
Translators of things far beyond our knowing.

If snow be to our liking…
Landslides of tragedy.

Emptiness

Befalling us from our loftiest heights…
And we are level once again.

In great grasping leaps, 
My soul tries heroically, 
To break the illusion.
       Mirrors within mirrors.
Somehow the struggle
Is all too familiar.
         
Past lives, past years, months, days, seconds…
God was right.
It burns to know both sides.
         
Fear of too much happiness.
       The sin of sins.
