Safe from that
feeling
of falling
in dreams.
Waking
to nothing,
but silence
and an empty place.
Where are you
now that your eyes
are open?
Is it still the same place
where you slept?
The last time I saw you
you were sleeping,
tears streaming down your face.
Stretch your body.
Take in your surroundings.
Tell me,
is there anything here
you recognize?
Do you know
how long you were asleep?
Look out on this sunrise
and tell me
where you are now,
after the journey
in your dreams.
