Dreams of the Shaman again tonight
power for the giving
I preserve my dreams against the tide
but what of the people in my life?
Do I toy with them so cruelly
I don't want to ... I just want to grow
as big as my dreams ... or fall trying.
She asked me to leave these many months
and now she'd call me due
but I won't give into these old ways.
I ache inside for her need
but mine runs a deeper course
and tonight ... I hear Helen on the wind
and all my questions tensed
before realities brief facades.
Sanity or no, convention or not,
is it a space I can live with?
And will her need
give me the time to find out.
