Dreamcatcher's Lament

In a little muddled cloud, a bubble, a thought

Ideas float away unfettered of wings.

Catching them proves to be unfeasible

By any means possible it appears...

Careful when you pull from

My stack of Jenga dreams

Taken from what sustains and place on my crown

Begin tumbling, falling, scattering...game over.

Hold in your hands an image of love

Heavy, it seems, to the amateur captor

Light as air, supple, shaped...radiant

In the hands of the ancient, practiced devotee.

Halls and mirrors seek hazy confusion

Follow the seam and you'll find the egress

Where Hope patiently waits, distant calliope, poised

To hold you and keep you, the spectacle of desire.

"Come home" breathes the slender sprite

Into ears unacquainted with compassion.

Lullaby swing, tree limb unbroken, come sing

The song in my dreams to make sweet.
