In my dreams I time travel Into the dark reaches of every mistake, I’ve made. Jumbled characters perform outrages stunts. I lie in bed suspended on clouds of worry. I apologize for my younger selves, Misinformed, wild-eyed with hope. I trace the paths that led me awry. The missteps of understanding. Misunderstanding my steps. Until I fly in and out of years past. My wings bring lightness to my follies. I see the sparkle of giving, The desire to please, The nurturing, The abstinence of greed. A broken heart forever open, Stretched and stretched. My eyelashes blink rainbow tears As the present nears The past recedes. Dreams settle. I’m free just to be me. http://www.abberolnick.comAbbe would love to hear your thoughts and to share her writings. Find her athttp://www.abberolnick.com
