Dream Unexpected

Night has fallen upon me

I am a blackbird

Under the crimson sky of my eyelids

I feel

soaked with the incessant rain of tears

from an unending dismal day

I can no longer fly

I am too weighed down

Too heavy

I am falling down

down

down

completely incapacitated

as in a nightmare

But

What a splendid surprise

I find myself

on an exquisite and supple carpet of emerald grass

and my eyes

once again sharp

witness the beauty of your presence

your foreverness

running towards me

with open arms

and your radiant smile

brightens the night

dispelling the shadows of doubt

and confusion

Thank you

Angel You
