Coffin of Dreams

It was day, but it is night now.

Light is turning off

One Switch after another

Congealing the fate of the day.

I want to slam the door on those who sleep

Waking them up to finish our conversations.

My dreams have been like coffins

For unfinished business affairs

With the jury still out, but

The memories buried

And the coffin sealed shut against tomorrow.

Moss blocking a line of a tombstone’s

 

Melody sung in the key of indifference–

Go home again.

Go home again!

  2. I love this…I have been dreaming more and more these days, and this piece has put into perspective something I could have spoken on my own.
    “I want to slam the door on those who sleep”.
    “For unfinished busniess affairs”
