with this new morn
may your dreams soar on

into the boundless openness of promise

away from the strife of the now
far from the pain of today

away from words sentences faded alphabets dead parchment

to shed it all
tossing the detritus away

and to rise

to rise up
to grab on

onto dreams
onto hopes

free
free finally to unshackle
chains cast off

oaths mouthed
vows broken

free
free finally from frothy lies

and
.
alive
truly alive
at last

under never ending
pristine

cloudless skies
