Death Of The Dreamer

Falling
Plummeting
Like a waterfall

Keep going
Diving
Off the cliff the wrong way

Plunging
Deeper still
What is at the center?

Descending is too nice a word
Cascading is prettier still
Pitched off the perch

The sun is gone
The moon, stolen by a black hole
The stars are blinking out

Am I flying?

Slowing the tempo
Floating
The nightmare is over

I am awake within a dream and searching for my mother
The beginning
The need to see it all

Quiet
I scream with no sound
Silence hurts my ears

I close my eyes but they will not reopen
Breathing with no movement
There is darkness

I search for a light
Anything bright will do
Nothing

The end.
