Life and the dream ...

                                       The muffled sound, of the engines,
                                       Reach down, through clouds, like hands through time.
                                       The source, hidden above the gray,
                                       Removes the blanket of past days,
                                       Not seen but heard, felt and not seen—
                                       The likeness rolls in- with the cold.
                                       The rumpled blanket placed, to rest,
                                       Deep into an empty old chest.

                                       I gazed, up high, at dreary sky,
                                       Conjecturing on the unseen;
                                       On the ceiling—I see a face
                                       And into the past, time, I traced.
                                       Clouds, like time, reshaped by a breeze,
                                       Departing-floating-memories
                                       Newly exposed to the days cold—
                                       Memories seen as they unfold.

                                       The silver wings, above the clouds,
                                       Ride the winds of the now and then.
                                       The blanket, for now, set aside,
                                       Will emerge from where it resides,
                                       Bringing warmth to the sleep of night—
                                       Where yesterday is still today,
                                       Where the face never fades from mind,
                                       Where life doesn’t leave me behind.
