Realigning a Dream

dreaming to believe
believing in a dream

she sits upon a whisper
delicate truths her heartbeat
tomorrows hope her soul’s sanity
content and certain she sits
and dreams in wait
 …believing

as whispers slowly become words
their truths manipulate his truths
and her truths fade away
she falls from her whispered pedestal
weighted down by a deceiving alphabet

free falling she plummets
into a pool of confused verse
swimming within metaphors
she clings desperately
to what facts she knows

she has to realign
the vowels that lie
placing them all in a row
so she can see them all at once

and that’s when it becomes clear
words don’t deceive
It’s the lips
of those who can’t see
those who don’t believe
who misuse the alphabet

-dreamslayers

in that moment she realizes
her dreams are not dead
just wasted on manipulating minds

she smiles victoriously
as she climbs out of the
echoing rhyme

crawling back upon her whisper
certain and content she begins
once again to believe
in him and her ….and their dream
