I am the sky
My mind a black hole
My soul a supernova
My heart a nebula
I sleep over the sea
And dream of faraway places
As I lay amongst the galaxy
While planets collide in the distance
A noiseless cacophony
A silent chaos
Beautiful in the ugliest way
But barren in worth
Yet I still dream
I dream of places I can't go
Mostly of the ocean below me
Always of peace
Looking down I see an endless pool
Depths unknown but surely limited
A giant reflection of who I wish to be
An image of where I wish to go
As time passes I find myself in a daze
By this otherworldly place
This kigdom of tranquility
Where the peace I seek is visible at its surface
I reach out
I stretch to get as close as I can
But my efforts are in vain
For I can only reach the air just above
My greatest love escapes my touch
But not my dreams
Where it remains close
Comforting me in my sorrows
Sometimes it is more a nightmare
A dementing reminder of my limits
My pain
Always just out of reach
After eons of nothing but dreams
I look down upon the water
Seeing a gleam of something
As it glides across the surface
Poking out just above the surface
Just in my reach
I grasp ahold of the object
A little glass bottle
Hope
I feel hope flood into my very being
After so long I have hope
If only but a little
I encase a part of myself into the bottle
Before I cast it back down
And watch it float
And pour over
Finally
After so long I am one with the one I love
I feel it's waves
And it's cool embrace
A beauty that is actually beautiful
As stardust is washed away in all directions
Illuminating the water like fireflies
Shyly dancing just underneath were I once couldn't reach
I am the sky
My mind is at ease
My soul is at peace
My heart is with the sea
I am the sky
And I am finally free
